A Brisket Cooking Question
Do you season the fat cap when you cook your brisket? Why do you choose to season or not to season?
I'm interested in knowing what other people think about this.

I season the fat cap. I cook flats, and usually have the fat trimmed about 1/4". It cooks up crispy, and some people (including me) like to eat it. Brian

I season the fat cap too unless I'm going to cook fat cap down. It may not, but I think is adds something to the final product.

I rub my fat too, but I also trim it pretty close.

I season the fat cap as well.
Fat holds more flavor than the meat, and I like to think that as it renders down it brings the flavor down with it.

I cut criss cross sections through the fat to the meat and then rub, so hopefully the rub will reach the meat. Thats my store and I am sticking to it.

I...don't.
I leave the fat cap on for cooking (fat down) and the trim the fat off before slicing. Now if I'm chunking or chopping for catering, I'll leave it on for more flavor and less waste.
