What Are Burnt Ends?

Burnt ends are the flavorful, caramelized tips of a smoked brisket, typically cut from the point end. They are cubed, sauced, and then further smoked or roasted to create a rich, juicy, and crispy bite. Known for their bold flavor and tender texture, burnt ends are a signature Kansas City BBQ dish and can also be made from pork shoulder for a slightly sweeter variation.

FAQs

What are burnt ends made from?

Burnt ends are made from the point end of a smoked beef brisket. This cut develops a thick bark and rich, smoky flavor during the slow-cooking process. Once the brisket is fully smoked, pitmasters cube the caramelized ends, coat them in barbecue sauce, and return them to the smoker to finish. The result is tender, flavorful pieces with crispy edges that define classic Kansas City-style barbecue. Some variations also use pork shoulder to make pork burnt ends with a sweeter finish.

Are burnt ends pork or beef?

Burnt ends are traditionally made from beef, specifically the point cut of a smoked brisket, known for its rich marbling and deep flavor. However, pork burnt ends have become a popular alternative. While both are slow-smoked and caramelized, beef burnt ends offer a bolder, meatier flavor, while pork versions tend to be sweeter and more tender.

How are burnt ends delivered fresh?

All our burnt ends are fully cooked, flash-frozen, and shipped in insulated packaging to maintain flavor and quality during transit.

How do I prepare burnt ends after delivery?

Simply thaw the burnt ends overnight in your refrigerator, then reheat them gently in the oven or on the stovetop until warmed through and tender.

Can I send burnt ends as a gift?

What to serve with burnt ends?

Burnt ends pair perfectly with classic BBQ sides that balance their smoky, rich flavor. Popular side dishes include:

Coleslaw – adds a creamy, tangy contrast
Mac and cheese – provides cheesy, comforting richness
Baked beans – complements with sweet, smoky depth
Potato salad – offers hearty, creamy texture
Cornbread – perfect for soaking up sauce and flavor

For a full BBQ spread, try adding grilled corn on the cob, pickles, or crispy French fries.

Are burnt ends fatty?

Yes, burnt ends are known for their high fat content. Typically made from the point end of a beef brisket or pork belly, they contain rich marbling that melts during smoking. This fat renders down to create the signature tender, juicy texture and crispy bark that barbecue lovers crave. The fat is what gives burnt ends their intense flavor and melt-in-your-mouth quality.

Where do burnt ends come from?

Burnt ends come from the point cut of a beef brisket, which is part of the brisket primal. This section, known as the pectoralis minor muscle, is heavily marbled and coated with a thick layer of fat. When slow-smoked, the point cut becomes tender and caramelized, making it ideal for cubing into the rich, flavorful bites known as burnt ends—a Kansas City BBQ classic.
