Fat side down or up on a pellet smoker?
You don’t have to shield it from heat because it’s a pellet smoker so which side goes up?

For rendering the trimmings into tallow do you put them in the smoker covered or uncovered? How long?

I put mine in a crock pot and render it down for about 16-20 hours. Strain it and put in a mason jar. Here's the ticket though. Only fill the jar a little over half way. Then put about enough water so that it's about 3/4" from the rim. Put a lid on and screw it on, then put it in the fridge upside down for about 8 hours. What happens is that the water and impurities are heavier than the oil so the oil floats to the top. You flip it over and dump out the water and you have pure rendered beef fat.

I cook mine on the second shelf with tin pan below at 200 until it’s 160 or bark is set than raise it to 260 to finish. I then place wrapped with tallow in warming oven for 12 hours. Best brisket I have ever made. Just started doing this. I use Goldee BBQ brisket rub.
