: I have a questions for the experts. In an earlier
: post, I mentioned I have 8 briskets in the freezer.
: When you smoke a whole brisket (the kind in the cry-o-vac),
: do you trim any of the fat off? I used to trim a good
: portion of
f but now wonder if I should just leave it all on
: and trim it later. Any advice would be helpful.
Personally I leave it on unless it's extremely thick. Then I might
saw a bit off. If the brisket it done the fat will fall off like jello
and will add moisture to the meat as it cooks.
