    Looks great!

    Myself, I like to leave more fat on the trim. I find it helps to have that moisture available when serving a reheat.

    Now you tell me! So damn proud of myself for the cutting job on the fat. Number 2 brisket will have more fat. You are so right especially if having to hold overnight. I think it would have been just fine if eating within a few hours (keeping in butt box). The fridge is not your friend to hold a brisket.

    No! Thought it was so hard, so long. Wished I had done this year's ago.

    Nice work Mickey.  The Cosco Prime brisket is a good candidate for turbo with its high fat content.  And yeah, leaving a fat cap helps.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Next time cut out all the hard fat and leave the fat cap. Correct?

    I cut all the hard fat (after watching Franklins video on trim) and just left a small attachment to the point. Worried it would come apart.

    Great result and awakening right there, especially with the protracted hold and resurrection.  You did yourself and the state quite proud.  Fork placement for the win.  Congrats.  Time to go again.

    Why not try that one time. In my experience most of the layer over the flat renders, and all can be trimmed later if you like.

    Do it! Turbo was good and easy (getting a Prime brisket was probably 90%). Will do more now and do them all Turbo
