After trips to two super wally worlds, I finally got my hands on a real "packer". Nothing wrong with flats...I just kinda felt like I was cheating or like cooking with gas instead of wood. To really do bbq, Texas style, real beef, must be a full packer cut brisket. So here goes my first effort with a whole brisket.
With flats, I have used bacon on top with the fat side of the flat down.
After reading how to trim a brisket from Chris, I decided to place the trimmed fat on top instead of bacon. Does anybody else do this?
