Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brisket:

   • Start by firing up the grill to get it ready for grilling.
   • Trim excess fat from the brisket point, leaving a thin layer for flavor.

4. Prepare the Burnt Ends:

   • Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.
   • Place the cubes in an aluminum pan, add BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and butter.
   • Toss to coat the cubes evenly.

5. Finish Cooking:

   • Return the pan to the grill, cooking the burnt ends for an additional 1-2 hours until they are caramelized and tender.

6. Serve:

   • Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh herbs.
   • Serve with your favorite sides like pickles and coleslaw.
