    Golden rendered fat on brisket

    Just curious if you guys have been able to get the golden rendered fat cap on a brisket? Mine are usually whitish still. Have a reverse flow offset smoker I built based off of daves formula. I've seen some videos online where they get that and I'm just curious how to go about it. Thanks!
