Members of that Harvard team worked with KJ to develop their Slōroller - https://www.kamadojoe.com/collections/accessories/products/kamado-joe®-sloroller-w-stainless-steel-cooking-rack?variant=32532429701171Foghorn said:@SciAggie, I just like fat side up. I've never really done a comparison cook.
I know this:
- there's no data to support fat side up when it has been studied
- Aaron Franklin said he would cook fat side down on a kamado - but he cooks fat side up on his offset and he cooks the best brisket I've tasted.
- After touring his pits with his manager and learning this I took it as a challenge to create an environment in the egg whereby the top of the brisket would see at least as much heat as the bottom.
- This happened about the time that the Harvard project made the news which suggested I could incorporate some of their principles into my process.
- Since that time my brisket game improved significantly such that on 75% of my brisket cooks I'd put my results up there with any brisket I've ever tasted.
I don't know if having the fat up is actually important in the process - but I don't want to mess with success.

Those of us who have sliced a raw brisket in half, cross-wise, and set them cut side together into the smoker, but with one half inverted, know the answer. And it's pretty damn clear-cut.Foghorn said:
That's a good question that I wouldn't even know how to answer - except maybe by cooking 2 briskets simultaneously on the 2 different levels. Hmmm...
But we're not telling.

Fascinating story, that I'd not seen before.Ozzie_Isaac said:
I had a bit of a background in reliability/statistics, AND in Air Force ejection systems/CAD-PAD (10 years). Was involved in figuring out the differences that women presented in an ejection seat; basically a male pilot has broader shoulders and narrower hips (well, most of 'em) and a higher center of gravity, while female pilots had narrower shoulders and wider hips (again, most of 'em) hence a lower CG. This had a pretty big effect on the ejection sequence, and required a lot of tweaking on later seats.
The mainstay ejection seat was the ACES-II for several decades. It had the coolest feature for keeping the ejecting seat traveling straight up (critical in a 0-0-0 ejection, where you have zero forward velocity, zero altitude, and zero xxx). Just as the rocket engine that carries the seat upward is fired, another explosive device fires that pulls a straight bar, with teeth cut along it, across a heavy gear, spinning it up and making it a gyroscope. If the seat starts to tip forward, the gyroscope pivots, pulling on a cable, which points the rocket engine (also on a pivot) backward, correcting the flight path. Ingenious, and dead-simple/reliable.___________"They're eating the checks! They're eating the balances!"

Back in my younger days I ran the ordnance flight line for the (then) Naval Strike & Air Warfare Center (Top Gun). One day we were doing arm/dearm at the end of a runway and as I'm driving down the center runway a jet takes off of the outside runway. About 20 seconds later the tower is screaming in the radio to clear all runways. I pull the truck over and look in the rear view mirror and see a giant fireball. That jet that just passed by had crashed into a field. Damned thing I had seen to that point in my life. Luckily for that guy, the seat worked that day.alaskanassasin said:I like pilots who don’t find themselves is a situation where they need to eject.Las Vegas, NV -

Stickburns aren't worth the trouble. sear marks are overrated. Pretty much charcoal is charcoal. No brisket is worth standing in line for 4 hours.
