Salt & pepper briskets and two pork butts.

Thank You Okie. Yes Sir it is a habit of mine to slice every brisket like I was going to pull pieces for a tray. [/quote]

KAM, any particular method or tool you use to make your slices so uniform (besides practice)? I've got a 12" carving knife I've used in the past with less than ideal results, and I've heard several say not to use an electric carving knife (not really sure why they say that) - but it's so much more effective and neat IMO.

I either use the 12" Dexter slicer in the pic or my 14" Wusthof slicer.

I let my briskets rest down to 165° before slicing doing this allows the juices to redistribute and firms the bark up. I cook my briskets to 205°/210° and would shred if I tried to slice at that temp. Practice does help I slice a lot of brisket in a years time.
