brisket

[M Piercy]

The Midnight cook instructs to flip the brisket over about halfway through the cook - is that necessary?? Seems like it would be better to leave the fat side up throuhout the entire cook.

Thanks

Mick--

Cook it fatside down for the entire cook. The fat will protect the meat from radiating heat from below. Fatcap is not the kind of fat that melts and 'bastes' the meat. When resting, rest fatside up.

Mick -- GO with Kevin's advice! I followed his advice and I have had excellent briskets. Why figure out ways NOT to do it?

Yep fat side down for the entire cook and rest with fat cap up as Kevin said.
