Weather permitting, I may try my first briskett this weekend. I got my confidence up on my first butts 2 weeks ago, so time to try something new. Of course, I have 2 questions for those with more experience.
1. What do I look for in buying a briskett? Is it called "briskett" on the packaging? I suspect I could figure this one out on my own, looking for a piece of meat with a flat and a point, but asking here always helps too.
2. How much fat should I trim on the cut before putting it on the smoker? I think I'm supposed to leave 1/4" on the outside.
3. JB (yeah, boy!) smokes them at 275. Does a higher temp dry them out faster than a low/slow approach?
Thanks!
