...what can you use instead that is "brisket-like"? Would a hunk of chuck work as a sliceable alternative to brisket?
The brisket I have is so sad, I don't know what to do with it, maybe roll it and cook it anyway and then turn it into pulled brisket? I really didn't want to do pulled brisket, though...
any suggestions (or tips for butchers in the ACT) appreciated!
cheers

You could use a salt brine and do corned beef then low and slow I cook chuck low and slow all time and comes out delicious

great thanks! I have used chuck for pulled beef with delicious results - it just didn't look that appealing for slicing...
found another butcher at the farmers market who will procure a brisket for me from 280kg carcass - should be a bit better then the skinny slab i have now. Sadly they don't butcher for another couple of weeks. oh well, absence (of the brisket) makes the hard grow fonder...?

Chuck works just as well. Some of the bbq places in the US also smoke chuck. But they call it "shoulder clod"
