I really want to do a brisket, but have a hard time justifying cooking an entire brisket for just myself. Can I just smoke a point or flat? I have a local butcher here that is pretty accommodating, any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can buy just the point - I've seen them for sale plenty of times. When they sell the flat they have to do something with the point too
If I could buy just the point I would make nothing but burnt ends!
Ditto...my Publix sells 3-4lbers all the time.You can find small flats at most groceries.

Another idea is smoker a big one but save the extra meat for sandwiches or whatever else for the next week. I have a vacuum sealer so i'll cook a bunch of food at once and seal and freeze what i dont eat.
you can get a Vacuum Sealer brand one for around $40..that's what i have. Also Lisa B on the forum sells cheaper bags then the name brand ones, so if you get a sealer check her website out!Thanks for the input, I've been looking for an excuse to get a vacuum.
