Brisket Smoking

[chukarhunt]

HI,

Is it best to put the brisket on aluminum foil so when you mob it is stays or is it best to put the fatty side up and leave it alone??

Thanks

You'll get different results depending on what kind of smoker you have for the fat cap up or down.  I wouldn't put a piece of foil down, just let that meat get hit with the heat and smoke directly.  Personally I save the mop for foiling at the end; always seems to just run right off when applied during cooking and not have much of an effect at all.
