Brisket fat cap question.

memphis egg

I found brisket for 99 cents a pound here in Memphis, since this is a pork town. Should I cook it fat cap up or down?

Char-Woody,[p]The debate rages, from time to time, over on the Basso Forum. Personally, I like to cook indirect, fat cap untrimmed and up, on the theory that the fat will render and add flavor to the meat.[p]Ken

MemphisEgg,
will work both ways. i've done literally 100's of brisket fat side up. just recently have tried fat side down per dr.bbq's posted advice. i like the results better. i go 225-250 indirect.
