Has anyone ever done anything with the fat they trim off a brisket? Last time I smoked one, I threw away almost 2 pounds of it, and I felt bad. I've thought about rendering it for some other use. Anyone have any ideas?

I always save it...
Pop it into the freezer.
I mix it with ground moose meat to make amazing burgers since moose meat is so lean.
When I am up at the cabin doing a lot of physical labour I use it to cook up really tasty roasted potatoes with home cured bacon and onions.
I use it in traditional steak pie with guinness, as well as mincemeat pie.
I add it to beef sausages etc... Render it for really amazing french fries. Again when I burn thousands and thousands of calories hiking, hunting, chopping wood, etc. I am 38 but want to stay healthy.
It has many uses.

whaaa? like there's moose running around in everyone's back yard?
It would be nice, maybe a moose would keep my neighbor's dog from peeing on my plants.

I typically do not trim briskets, but when I have I will toss a couple small bits of the fat into the hot coals just to smell the sizzling fat and to drive the neighbors nuts. The smell is intoxicating.

i will only occasionally trim up a brisket and only if i have run out of brisket fat in the freezer. i toss chunks of bricket fat in with extra lean ground beef to put some falvor back into the meat when browing hamburger meat. sometimes the extra lean is cheaper and tossing brisket fat in moves it back to tasty.
