Started some flap meat for some beef treats. It's been a few months since I did this. The last batch was better than any other cut for faux burnt ends, except of course the real deal brisket point. Unfortunately, I can't find just brisket point and I'm not big on the flat.

This cut, labeled "flap meat" by Costco, has very similar muscle/fat marbling and the results last time were excellent.

Just to follow up, these turned out great. I really like the similarity of the muscle stringyness to brisket point. I recommend you give it a try if you can't find brisket point.

I smoked it at 225F with a mix of RT Ult Blend, LJ Apple, and LJ Cherry, for about 4-5 hrs, then trayed in an aluminum tray and covered with some water in the bottom and let it go an hour at 225F, then pulled it out to set on the grates and ran at 300F until colored/crisped bark as desired. I chopped into 1" squares and sauced heavily, then smoked another little bit. They are really a great snack.
