    did it make any diff. to yall if you chose Select or Choice beef?
    and did either of you trim any fat off first?
    fat side up or down?
    did you flip it?
    or spritz it?[p]I just cooked two over this weekend (my first) - one on the smoker and one on a Weber Kettle using a guru. The Points were delicious, but the flat wasn't as moist - fell apart YES, but not really juicy. Both went to 170, then were foiled to 205. total time on about 12 hours. 9 & 10 lbs each. Both def. hotter than 200.
    thx

    jaymer,
    Sounds like you had a pretty good outing. I cook mine fat side up. I was lazy this time and got one trimmed there was still a good amount of fat left on it. It was on sale at Price Chopper. The untrimmed was on sale too. Cooked it fat side up,( I never flip it) platesetter, and elevated grid. I've found that using an elevated grid in this set-up allows better circulation of smoke around the meat. Spritzed with apple juice a couple of times during the first couple hours. Wrapped in foil at around 180. Pulled at 200, wrapped in towel, rested in cooler until time to slice.
