Due to mobility issues I decided to sous vide after all. These pictures are of the flat which I inadvertently cut into two pieces. These were done at 130° for 48 hours, the point ended up in three pieces and are still in the sous vide franken cooler until tomorrow morning. I smoked at 160° to an IT of 125°, 4.5 hours prior to sous vide.

Having company tonight, I thought that sliced brisket might be appropriate. As you can see, I need a better slicer.

Looks like you are feeding an army.  Slices look good to me.

Nothing wrong with the slices, I would be all over them.

We went to a place over the weekend and I ordered brisket and it was sliced so thin and perfect, maybe 1/8" thick, that it had to have been cooked and refrigerated and then sliced on a deli slicer. It wasn't hand sliced. I would say machine sliced then put in a steam pan or maybe just microwaved to rehet for service. It wasn't bad tasting just was odd looking.

I don't think you will get any complaints about the slicing.   :clap:

 For some reason, that I cannot figure out, when slicing it does not completely cut through at the bottom end of the product. this small uncut portion grows with each slice until I have to stop and remove it manually.

My slicer does it too.
It's because the meat is soft and as you are pushing it towards the blade and the friction between the meat and metal back pushes the meat back away from the blade.

It definitely slices better.
Same thing with meat grinder, partially frozen grinds better.

I'll give the partially frozen bit a try with the other pieces. The same thing happens when I slice bacon.

If it is flat on both sides or can be flipped. Flip it over ever couple of slices. Run the stretched/tail side first for a few then flip again.

I tried that but I still ended up with ugly slices, I'll try partially frozen
