Fat up so the juice stays in the meat. Gravity and such.

Up unless you are looking to cook a large chunk of Jerky.

Always up. Why would you ever do otherwise?

For the bark. You get better bark on the top, and if its the fat cap its just getting cut off.
I use a water smoker and always go fat cap down

Must rotate
Fat up 2 hours Fat down two hours Wrap in foil and pour in marinade Then fat down for a hour or two more Then chop off the point and make sure to cook up those burnt ends Your mileage may vary |

Once you get it in the smoker, for the most part you should leave it alone if you have decent air flow around the brisket. Flipping it every two hours is unnecessary and will typically result in a dryer brisket unless you mop it every time your turn it. Let it sit on the smoker, fat up, for 75 percent of its cook time, then flip. And wrap it in foil and pour in a marinade? You're braising your brisket, might as well put it in the oven. If you're going to marinade, do it before you cook it. The only reason you should foil it on the smoker is if you're getting too much caramelization. You're on point (heh) on the burnt ends part, though! Just my 2 cents. |

But to be fair, I use an electric water smoker so the cooking is about as controlled as it can get.

The added moisture from your water smoker is the difference. You're cooking in a very moist heat. In an offset, it's a lot dryer in there.
