To settle the age old argument once and for all...
Down. The pores on the brisket only fully open up a few times during the cooking process, and when they do if the fat cap is down, the rub will fully penetrate the brisket, while the fat cap holds in all the flavor. 100% flavor, 100% of the brisket.
There you go.

Fat cap up, if you put the fat cap down you must be a pillow biter

Morning Lew. I've never done a brisket fat side down. I wonder if Franklin does his fat side down?

I've smoked many a brisket both ways, and there's no doubt in my mind that you get a better product fat cap down. If you've never tried smoking one that way, give it a shot sometime.
And a Wagyu cut doesn't hurt, either.

IMO if it needs sauce then it isn't cooked properly or the meat is simply beyond repair. I've never tasted a brisket that didn't need a whole bottle of sauce. I believe this is because brisket is an inferior cut of meat. |

it is a cheap cut, thats why you invest the time to make it perfect. I don't use sauce on mine. I eat it with pickles and raw onions

Depends on Region.
Texas its all beef and chicken and sausage. In the midwest and the south its pork. Historically speaking, pork was used because it was readily available. Texas has beef due to cattle etc. Until the cattle drive and trails to Kansas City in the mid 1800's. Texas is widely influenced by Czech BBQ and Mexican BBQ
