What Temp Does Fat Render On Brisket?
The fat on a brisket begins to render (melt) at a temperature of around 185°F (85°C). As the internal temperature of the meat rises, the fat will continue to melt and marinate the meat, adding flavor and keeping it moist. However, it is important not to overcook the brisket, as it can become dry and tough if the fat is completely rendered.
