Brisket: To Hang, or Not to Hang?

[jdsegra]

Hey all. I'm going to cook a brisket for a work gathering on Friday. I've cooked many briskets, but this will be my first on the OKJ Bronco Pro.

Anyone tried hanging one? How did it go? Any issues? Point side toward the fire? Should I just use the grate instead?

I always hanged flat towards the fire for about 5.5 hours, then go to the grate fat cap down first. Most times the fat cap would get dark enough to flip and get some bark on the flat.

This also helps with long briskets, they shrink up enough after 5+ hrs to fit on the grate.
