Default Hot and Fast Brisket Pron **It's Done**

Day 2 and I’m trying the Hot and Fast Method. I’ve got to say every fiber of my being is say NOOOOOOOOOOO. The Brisket has been on for 2 hrs and it smells good. I put it fat side up (I don’t know if that’s going to make a difference, I always cook fat side up) and I just checked the smoke and she is smoking along at 330. Here are some pics.

Got the coals ready


My dog Zip is ready


The Brisket when it was first put on.



Can anyone tell me what is too hot for the Hot and Fast? And does it matter Fat up or Fat down?

Probably doesn't matter but on the BGE and WSM, I cook fat down with the theory that its an insulator from the heat coming from below.

I have always cooked mine fat side up as you are doing. This is the way I was taught in Texas, the reason being that it allows the juices of the fat to permeate through the meat adding more juices and flavor to the meat. I have also heard of fat side down as Jason suggested. I've heard that it really doesn't matter. I guess It's just a personal choice. Go figure.

using the high heat method, I usually start fat side up for the first 2-2.5 hours, then flip it when I put it in the foil to take it to the finish.

Either way it's all good.

Looking forward to the "after" pictures!

I cook 'em at 375, in a pan, fat cap down. Sometimes the fat cap just sticks to the pan and I don't have to even trim it after cooking.
PARTY!!!!!!!!!!

The Finished Product




I’m letting the Brisket rest, Its had a long day. I tried so bark and it was so good. I’m going to let it rest for about 1 1/2 hrs. If this is as juicy as I think it’s going to be I will never cook another brisket any other way. Thanks for all the help everyone.

I've always read and been told fat cap up so the fat renders through. Maybe it's not a big deal but I don't think I've seen it done any other way.
