Kansas City Burnt Ends

Ingredients

• 1 brisket point (~4 – 5 lbs.)
• Your favorite dry rub seasoning

Instructions

Step 1

• Preheat your smoker to 225–250°F and add your favorite smoking wood.
• Trim all fat from the brisket point and season liberally with dry rub.
• Place seasoned point in the smoker, cover and allow it to cook for five hours.
• Remove from the smoker and wrap in a layer of tin foil
• Return it to the smoker.

Step 2

• Cook until meat reaches an internal temperature of 210°F.
• Pressing with your finger, there should be some resistance, but still soft to the touch
• Leave wrapped in foil and let cool on the counter for 10–15 minutes
• Slice the meat into 1×1 inch cubes

*The brisket point is the fatty part of a whole brisket. While usually not sold alone, it doesn’t hurt to ask your local butcher if they have one handy.
