I've always heard fat side up, for the "self-basting" effect.

Babyray,[p]I always go fat cap up. When the butts are ready to come off the BGE the fat cap is always gone.[p]

Babyray,
I just finished two overnighters this morning. I did them fat cap down, that way the slightly burned part is the fat cap. Both were nice and juicy. I guess everyone does them different--See-Yaa
