brisket

ezgoinMember

Every post I've seen here talks about smoking the brisket fat side up. Every time I do that the fat turns out like rubber, and the meat is dry.

I smoked six packer Saturday night and Sunday. I put five on fat side down like I usually do and one fat side up. The ones I smoke fat side down I could brush off the fat with the back of a knife. The fat side up one I had to salvage by slicing the fat off knife, wrapping in plastice wrap with about a quarter cup of beef stock and then foil and putting in the oven for an hour or so.

Am I missing something?

I guess it depends on where your heat source comes from.

I don't know about "every" post.

Many FEC folks cook packers fat side down.
