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

I've never used a water smoker. I always went fat up for all but the last 3-4 hours.

I disagree with this on so many levels.

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.

I think the effect of the "fat basting" is pretty exaggerated. In fact I almost completely remove the fat cap from my butts.

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.
