You girl, are right smack in the middle of the pack with your approach to trimming a brisket as well as cooking techniques. I will so try your suggestion of pulling some of the fat from between the point and flat. Great story how you and Todd are able to work together to create great content for all of us to benefit from.

      Brisket can only be cooked low ´n´ slow because it is the toughest cut of meat. If you were to cook it hot and fast you wouldn´t be able to bite a piece off.

      @theanthonyv 3 года назад

      Aerodynamic brisket is something Aaron Franklin has espoused, and now everyone else just repeats it and presents it as their own idea… just like leaving a quarter inch of fat on top, wrapping in pink butcher paper, using boning knives to trim, referring to the sides of the brisket as ‘point’ and ‘flat’, seasoning with only salt and pepper, and about a dozen other things. RUclips is overloaded with aerodynamic briskets and all of the other Franklin-isms that people present as their own discoveries.

      @corey1788 3 года назад +1

      General rule is fat up on something like an offset or stick burner as the heat flows across the top. On something like a pellet grill the heat comes from the bottom up and then over so most go fat down on those. Some say it really doesn’t make that much difference so best advice is try both and stick with what you like best.
