Brisket burnt ends come from a brisket that's already been smoked for 22 hours. Q-BBQ cubes and re-rub the charred end of the brisket, then pop them back in the smoker or on the grill for a couple hours. They're so good, they don't even need sauce. Q-BBQ offers a side of sweet and spicy aioli in the restaurant.

1. Start with a fully smoked beef brisket. Cut off the charred end piece and cut into 1 inch cubes
