You would want to cut roughly where a normal briskets ends and separate the plate and flat and cook as two pieces. If you have an American style packer (which is much more popular) don’t hack it up. Cook the whole thing. To serve it’s easy to then separate point and flat, pull when flat is 203, point will be a little under. Toss cooked point into a food saver and freeze. Reheat in sous vide... or turn it into burnt ends
