I have been using my Traeger for a few months now and it's grown on me. It always produces good food and is very convenient because I don't have to sit outside and tend to a fire pit all day. I wasn't impressed at first because I wasn't getting as much smoke flavor as I was getting by cooking...
Thanks guys! I noticed that some of the outside edges got crispy and the thickest end of the beef, right at the end, was really hard to chew but the family loved it and so did I.
Next time I'll for sure soak it for a few hours first... it was very salty.
Just decided to pull it and let it rest for 30 minutes before we eat.
Final temperature was right around 190 degrees at most places and smoked for right at 5 hours.
At 4 hours now. Probed around and getting an IT of anywhere from 177 to 184 degrees. Is my Traeger cooking too hot to almost be done at 4 hours for a 4 pound corned beef?
Thank you for the advice dirtsailor. That's exactly what I did was grind up the seasoning packet as rub. I also ground up some pickling spice to give me a little extra.
I like salty so I only rinsed it for a couple minutes. If it turns out too salty I'll know for next time.
I just placed it...
I've decided to smoke my first corned beef today guys. I'm smoking it on a traeger with hickory pellets.
I think for rub I've read that pickling spice and black pepper are a good mix.
What do you all think?
Following this thread!! I just picked up nearly a 5 pounder to try for the first time this weekend and was also curious about rub suggestions and cooking method.
