Brisket question. Pics inside.

This brisket is from a half beef I get yearly. This is the first time I'm doing a non store bought brisket. Should I trim the fat on this before smoking tomorrow or can I separate it afterwards and make burnt ends? It doesn't seem like the point I've seen on others.

It looks to me like all you have is the point. And it looks like a real good one.

Yes trim off some of the excess fat, because it is really well marbled.
