I know I have posted about the joys of beef brisket before but being a newbie at cooking the darn things (ribs I can handle but brisket is a different animal, literally) I want to make sure I don't screw things up.
When trimming the fat from the brisket I have been intructed by Weber Dave and Jim M to leave a 'cap' of fat about 1/8-1/4 of an inch on the brisket (guessing for the wonderful moisturizing). My question and it may seem kinda stupid is - Do I leave this much fat all the way around the brisket or just on one side? I seem to recall on the Midnight cook Chris posted about he mentioned cooking with the fat side up first so this leads me to think it is just on one side. Is this correct?
