first try

[peggy bennight]

First try at high temp brisket. When foiling do you put meat side up or fat side up?

in an attempt to keep the bark as pretty as possible, I go fat down for the full duration of the cook.

Hi Peggy - How fun - You've just asked the most controversial "Brisket" question known to Qr's. lol. If many see your question you will probably get a bunch of different answers for as many different reasons. lol. jbeisinger is right in my opinion though. You should get a little crisper crust that way. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Bob
