I did five slabs a few weeks ago and have seven slabs on now (31 degrees outside) I usually flip mine over the course of my four day smoke but do y'all think it makes a difference fat side up or down?
I hang mine also...Fat doesn't absorb as muck smoke as meat part, so adjust flavor by how much smoke flavor you want. Fat side down less smoke in meat, meat side down more direct smoke to meat.
I put the Fat side up in my MES.
However if I was using a Smoker that puts out a lot of direct heat, I would put the Fat side Down to protect it from the Direct Heat.
