Gochujang Glazed Brisket Burnt Ends and Slices

Ok, confession time- I don’t turn in burnt ends in my brisket box at KCBS contests.  I know all the Oklahoma and Kansas people will claim that’s not a true brisket turn-in, but I don’t care.  I do well with my brisket when I compete, and I get the bonus of keeping the brisket points […]
