In a drum or kamado style smoker where the heat source is coming from directly underneath the brisket or whatever you are smoking, smoking a brisket fat side down should help protect the meat better. Does it really make a difference though? Watch the video to find out.

In this video i'll cover off the below:

- Drum smoker set up
- What I look for when choosing a brisket
- How to trim a brisket
- Drum smoker fire management
- Cooking times and temperatures
- How to get your brisket to cook evenly
- How to slice a brisket
And much more!

This video is a full tutorial on how to smoke brisket, but we're just doing it fat side down to see if it really makes a difference. So if you've got a drum smoker and want to smoke a brisket, this is the perfect video for you!

For reference, our smoking temperature for this cook was 275F/135c. It was around a 10.5 hour smoke and this brisket was probing right at around the 205F/96c internal mark.
