Brisket: When to trim?

[Lake Dogs]

I'm reading/viewing this right after stuffing myself during lunch. Suddenly I'm hungry
again. The old saying of the best presentation/appearance is that you make them
WANT TO DIVE IN and eat it. Man, this absolutely defines that. If you dont even
like brisket it would be tough to say that this wasnt an appetizing display.

In the two turn in box photos, what's the sauce? Is it from the drippings? That looks sensational.

Damn good looking boxes...!

I always trim after it is cooked. The edges always seem to get overcooked and fall apart. When you trim after you can get rid of those nasty crumbly edges and have nice looking slices. Brisket was my best catagory last year.
