Thanks for the tip!

So its possible to go from dry and tough to juicy and tender with additional cook time due to the break down of the connective tissue? Sounds like i just need to ride it out for a bit longer and see how it goes. My fear was ending up with 11lbs of beef jerky.

Hey guys! Second brisket attempt on the Traeger select. Just like my beef ribs... the brisket was decent but a little tough and on the dry side. Any pointers are appreciated. I am not sure if it is over or under cooked slightly. 225 degrees for the entire 12 hour cook 3 hours untouched...
