Hello gentlemen and ladies. I am new to this forum, but once I found it I could not get off so I had to subscribe. Looking forward to reading everyones post. I was recently given a Master Forge 50.15-in 20 lb Cylinder Piezo Ignition Gas/ Charcoal Vertical Smoker from my father in law and we have smoked a few things already, but now he has gone back home to CA, I am in NC, and I am venturing out on my first smoke. Looking to smoke a nice flat cut brisket, but had a couple questions about what everyone has done. First one is do you smoke with fat cap up or down? I am looking to do a nice low/slow cook at around 250 degrees. Secondly, does anyone have any suggestions on injections or rubs? I am thinking of injecting versus marinating, but still letting it sit over night in a cooler after injection. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Chris
