Brisket...enough said

[thefireman]

6 am here in good ole Kansas city...got a nice 13 lb prime brisket I picked up at Costco for 2.50/lb. Simple 1:1 salt and pepper rub on. Going on my Traeger at 275. Will try and keep some QView going.

Looks like a good start.

Yours is a pellet grill correct? I'm going to be doing the same thing on a camp chef in a few days is it pretty easy to do one on a pellet grill?

Let us know how it turns out. I usually do my briskets at 225 on my Traeger Timberline 850.    Takes longer but I always gets a very nice 1/4 smoke ring on the brisket.

Yes it's a Traeger Texas model... am older one to...only had the smoke medium and high settings. Does a pretty good job... like the flavor my stick burner gives much more... anyways... long story short... my pit probe on the Traeger which has been reliable is no longer reliable... was reading about 75 degrees lower than what it was when I put my dual therm in and brisket was like 235 after about 7 hrs... the point was still salvageable... very moist and good flavor... the flat was literally hard as a rock... straight to the trash...i was so excited to... it crushed me. I usually don't leave my rig for that long but I had a day out with my 3 yr old and well some things are just more important that bbq sometimes... but not many. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up...
