        Not judging. Just asking. Are you cooking fat side down, or is that just a really close trim?

        If fat side down, how do you keep from tearing up the fat cap and bark when removing from the grates at the end of the cook?

          When I go fat cap down I spray the grates with copious amounts of Non-stick Spray right before I lay the brisket on the grates.

          Jerod Broussard My experience when cooking fat down for long times, it sinks and wraps around grates. Then shrinkage & removal destroy presentation and flavor, loosing seasoning, bark, and fat. My heat source is from below & I would prefer to cook fat down as it's not uncommon to get crispier than desired underneath or to lose rub/bark when lifting to spritz. Thinking fat up then flip, onto butcher paper? Maybe using a water pan again? Both would likely hurt bark formation. Sorry for hijacking.

          It’s both fat down AND closely trimmed. My preference is to have the bark on the meat side, which, as you said tends to get tore up when removing. I mind less that the fat cap tears.

            Tomorrow morning hope to have 2 pork shoulders on the keg by 8:30, add a round roast at 2:00.
            When that's done open the dampers and get her raging and put on lamb chops if I can find some really thick ones Sat morning.
            Then settle into a meat induced haze.

                  I have woken up early to start a fire, twice. Now I let everything cook over night. More power to all of you that do. I’m sure it is a bit meditative to have smoke rolling and watching the sunrise. I’m putting a brisket on soon though, likely tonight. Cheers
