Going after our first brisket tonight.
Trimmed and seasoned last night, got a good portion of the hard fat out of it and trimmed the fat cap best we could. Really did not need a lot of shaping as we had seen in a bunch of the how to trim videos. We thought our knives were fairly sharp but...
Just pulled and tossed it in the cooler to rest. It was a long smoke. 19 hours roughly for about an 8.5 lbs butt. Hit 206 on the Traeger probe and 201 on the Govee probe.
While the 180 should yield great smoke flavor and a nice ring, it is perhaps too low for an overnight. Thinking 225 for next...
Looks good. Give butcher paper a try next time, it should help keep the bark crispy. Foil will trap the moisture and soften the bark.

Just woke up and will wrap soon. Traeger is sitting at 141 and my Govee is sitting at 154. Those 2 never seem to run together. Ran at 180 F overnight. I think when it’s time to do my brisket I will run it at 225
Alright just put it on. Set for 180F and it is rolling sone very nice smoke. Will check the IT at 10:30 and see if I can let it ride or turn it up to 225.
IT is starting at 50F
We decided to smoke a butt for the weekend but also decided to try it for an overnight smoke.
Traeger Pro 34 pellet pooper for the smoke. Love the Traeger but would like to have more temp options. My choices are SMOKE, 180, or 225 for the lower end of things.
We were thinking of setting it...
We opted to not cut at this time and freeze it whole. Thanks everyone! I had read the brisket sticky before but will print it out this week and study it more
Traeger Pro 34 pellet smoker is what I will be using .
So we have sone a couple of pulled beefs and sone pulled pork and several racks of ribs. We pretty much now what we are doing with our smoker now but have yet to try a brisket.
Went to Lowerys in Michigan to stock up on brats for the...
Just pulled it to rest, went almost 12 hours. Wasn't paying close enough attention and did not hear the alarm that it was up to temp so it's over temp a bit. Pulled it at 213 on 1 of the probes and 205 on my Govee probe
We have been getting Jacks thin crust or the Meijer generic brand thin crust. It’s okay, just not superb. It’s a go to for us because it’s lower in carbs. Wife was recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic and I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic so we have had to take a whole new look at nutrition.
These...
Threw an 8 lb butt on the Traeger this morning thinking it was fully thawed only to find out when we put the temp probes in that the center might still be frozen.
34 on 1 probe and 29F on the other.
Did we eff this up before even starting the smoke?
Running a Traeger Pro 34 at 225F.
I use a insulated cover on my Traeger in colder temps. Comes right up and holds nicely with the cover. Without it takes forever to come up to temp and cools very quickly when you open the lid.
