Making burnt ends for the first time was a bit intimidating, but it turned out surprisingly well. The combination of salt and pepper really brought out the flavor of the brisket, and I felt a sense of accomplishment.
The flavor of these burnt ends is absolutely divine. The perfect balance of smokiness and tenderness makes every bite a mouthwatering delight.
