Spent 10 years trimming briskets wrong before a guy in Houston set me straight

Always cut the fat cap down to a quarter inch. Thought thicker meant juicier. Old timer at the farmers market showed me his trim on a $90 prime packer. Said the fat doesn't render right and you just lose bark. Tried it his way next weekend. Best brisket I ever made. Anyone else learn basic stuff way later than they should have?

Yeah the "fat doesn't render right and you just lose bark" part hits hard. I learned that one the hard way too.

I mean is it really that big of a deal though?
