I just read this in the latest issue of Texas Monthly. It quotes the owner of Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, TX.

What do you guys think of placing the fat cap up?  I didn't notice much difference personally.

Warm Beer is Infinitely Colder than no Beer

I would sure suggest the fat side up and spray it with "Apple Cider Vinegar" from the start and when you open the lid.
Do not know what that does but I will send pic's of my Brisket!




take pic's of the brisket you cook so we can get hungry!!!!

If I'm cooking on any of my vertical smokers I cook with the cap down.   I've found that with the cap down it keeps the leaner meat at the bottom of the flat from drying out.   The other thing about cap down is I like the cleaner look of no grate marks on the top and the fact that the fat inhibits smoke ring.  If your not at a comp this doesn't matter.  The other thing is if  you want a crust or bark.  the lean meat doesn't bark up well without help, like Mike suggested in another thread, but if you use a paste it crusts up better.
