any suggestions for this? This is what I call it when the fat cap on a brisket or butt melts in to the rack and then you go to lift off the meat the fat rips away and stays on the rack. Causes 2 problems: 1) the meat juices are mo longer sealed in and 2) I have to go scraping grates to clean them.

I don't like to cook fat side down, which is the obvious solution. What do ya all do when this happens?

If you leave it in one place, it will stick a lot of times. Just towards the last 1/2 of the smoke, move it around every hour or so and you won't have the problem. Problem is that the fat gets soft and sinks around the grate, then it hardens as it smokes/cooks.

Just move her around.

Or when you take it out and pull and there is some on the grates, pull it off and eat Big Grin
