Preparation
An important step in smoking protein of any kind is the preparation of the meat itself. It's never good practice to bring home a cut of meat from the butcher or supermarket and place it straight into the smoker without first inspecting and trimming it. The exception of course is if your butcher has done the work for you, but in any case, it's best to learn how and what to look for when trimming up different cuts of meat for the smoker.
Trim Up
A large seam of fat, layer of tough silver-skin or a sheet of membrane left on a finished product can be the difference between a great meal and an average or even bad one. Not only can membrane and silver-skin be tough and chewy, it can also hinder smoke permeation and rub adhering to the meat surface. There is quite a large array of protein cuts that any one pit master will encounter in their time. Experience becomes the best teacher when it comes to the best method for trimming each cut. Indeed, personal taste will also play a big part in your trimming style with any particular cut of protein.
Plan Ahead
In some cases there is no distinct right or wrong way to do things, this is where experience and personal taste will guide you in the direction which best works for you. It's important to get a plan in your head of what you wish to achieve with your trim and plan your cuts in advance. A good sharp boning knife and large chopping board are essential pieces of equipment - a cleaver and chefs knife can also be handy.
