You said "trimmed brisket changed everything" but I think you might be off on that a little. Trimming is super important don't get me wrong, but it's more about the cook temp and timing that really makes or breaks it. I've seen people do a terrible trim but nail the temp and it still comes out great. It's like, trimming helps but it's not the magic bullet people think it is.

I mean, I've seen plenty of briskets that were trimmed perfectly but cooked way too hot, and they came out dry and tough every time. Idk, temp control feels like it matters way more than cutting off a little extra fat.
