Looking at some pictures of a Texas comp team, on another forum, preparing a brisket it appears that they do so with the fat cap down and smoke it that way also. They say that it does not make any difference as the fat just rolls off the sides if left up. I thought it was the fat going through the brisket that helped keep it moist and tender?

I vote with Tom on this one. I'd never do a brisket with the cap down the full time, but I'm okay with turning it over. The one reason I've heard for doing this, is that some teams use the fat cap on the bottom to protect the meat from getting too dry -- thus a cushion.

Just a theory, do what works for you.
