It looked pretty well trimmed into a square and it got me to thinking about the wisdom of triming to fit before cooking. Makes sense - and if it works for him...

FWIW, the Milroys (Texas Rib Rangers) were kind enough to let me film them trimming a brisket at a comp last year. Here is a link to the vid.

Wow, a lot of great help from these posts. Thanks brethren and hope some more folk ad their experiences. Some very nice pics of winning appearance boxes...they jump out and make you want to dig in. That is the reason to work so hard I guess as points are points. Thanks again!
