Smoked Brisket

We love grilled meat, especially smoked brisket.

By careful planning it's very possible to stretch this meat into several meals.

After eating on the meat the first night I then refrigerate the leftover brisket overnight. Once chilled I cut the brisket into manageable hunks.

Sometimes I slice the meat with just a sharp knife but this time I used a food slicer;

 Purchased for $3 buck at an estate sale.

By slicing the meat into thin strips we are able to make it stretch into more meals.

 One brisket makes a lot of slices!

After separating the slices there were enough for 5-meals; plus I still had extra slices in the fridge to be eaten as leftovers.

 All the irregular slices of meat are gathered together;

And cut into cubes for barbecue sandwiches.

I paid just over $15 for a 10-pound brisket. We've eaten on it 3-times plus the 5 meal size portions that are in the freezer. This makes a total of 8 meals from one brisket!
