First brisket tomorrow.......

Grillnugget · February 2015

I'm planning my first brisket cook tomorrow and thought I'd ask: fat cap up or down? I've seen cooks done both ways and wonder what the majority prefer.

I have done them both ways on brisket and butts only thing I noticed was the presentation . Cap down more bark on top better looking. But I'm just half baked anywho 8-}

I typically do cap cap down. Only because if it sticks, I lose fat...

I do cap up... never tried the other way..

On an egg you won't be able to tell the difference. Ive done them both ways. I prefer fat cap down.

Fat cap down for this Cowboy.

I have done both for brisket and i think the fat renders better if it is fat cap up. Less mess and it is easier to carve IMO. If you oil the grill first it should not stick. Good luck with the brisket.

Just got my first egg. Tried filet mignons yesterday and They were awesome. Today doing pork ribs and beef brisket. Can't wait. I owe it all to my good friend John. He's the one who got me hooked. I'm a big green egg junkie!!♨️

Ive always gone fat cap up, however i now do Turbo Briskets too and feel with turbo fat cap down is better for better bark
thats my 0.02
