Cutting brisket before cooking can maximize grill space and reduce cooking time, appealing to barbecue enthusiasts. However, experts caution against slicing thinner cuts, as this may lead to dryness. Brisket consists of two muscles: the flat cut which is leaner, and the point cut with more marbling.
