BURNT END PHILLY

Steps:

• Bring the paprika, light brown sugar, cumin, garlic salt, onion salt, cayenne pepper, soy sauce, beef base and 4 cups water to a low boil in a pan. Boil everything until dissolved, then let cool. Transfer to a flavor injector, then inject into the brisket in a pattern, every inch across the grain, and then the remainder with the grain.
• Pat the brisket dry and coat with rub. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 hours.
• Prepare a smoker for smoking at 275 degrees F.
• Smoke the brisket until its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours. Wrap in foil and put back in the smoker until the internal temp reaches 205 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours more. Remove from heat to rest.
• Separate the point form the flat, then cut the point into cubes and put back in the smoker in a foil pan. (Save the flat for another use.) Cook until the points reach 205 degrees F, then then toss with barbecue sauce, beer and a shake of rub.
• Saute green peppers, green onions and mushrooms until soft.
• Split the hoagie rolls and toast on the flat top.
• Add the burnt ends, sauteed vegetables and cheese dip.

KANSAS CITY-STYLE BURNT ENDS

Steps:

• Sift the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper into a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Trim all the hard fat from the brisket. Trim all the soft fat to 1/4 inch. Prepare a smoker or a grill, following the manufacturer's directions. Stabilize the temperature at 220 degrees F. Use a mild wood such as hickory or cherry for the smoke flavor. Generously cover all sides of the brisket with the rub and gently massage it in. Reserve the leftover rub. Smoke the meat until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 to 185 degrees F when inserted into the flat part of the brisket, about 1 hour per pound. For example, a 10-pound brisket may need to smoke for about 10 or more hours. Monitor the internal temperature.
• Separate the point of the meat from the flat. At this time you can slice the flat part off the brisket and eat. Trim the visible fat from the brisket point and coat it with the reserved rub. Return the meat to the smoker and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the brisket point reaches 200 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the smoker to a cutting board and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Cut into chunks and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve it hot with your favorite sauce on the side.
