Uh oh, them's fightin' words in here!!
I'll go fat down if I'm spritzing. But.. I'll be 100% honest. Im not dead set on up or down, fat cap position depends largely upon the grade and content for me. This is a select, so the cap was up. This is also why I wanted to go fat down and spritz it.

This discussion will live forever; I think more go fat side up but I was mentored by a dayum good cook that was emphatic to always cook down so I’ve always done it that way. No need to change at this stage

Re: Going Boss with a brisket!
Thanks all! She has been pulled and now resting. Slice pics soon enough! Took about 9 hours at 250 to hit probe tender. Cooked fat side up and I ended up buying another spray bottle so I could spritz anyway. Lol! Spritzed with a mix of beef broth, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, (OUP's favorite ) and a touch of apple cider vinegar. Pellets were a mesquite, hickory, pecan blend (smells WONDERFUL). Think I'm definitely keeping some of those in the arsenal.
Pics in a little while!!

Oohh dear!! Turned out very good for a select. A touch dry on the far end of the flat but, otherwise pretty moist where it needed to be.

Thanks! The flavor was great. I rubbed it down with SPG and a little paprika.
