First try at a Brisket

[jaycen]

Well yesterday was my first try at a brisket.  I have a brand new Traegar Lil Tex Elite.....I have zero complaints on how this came out.  I followed Traegars recipe for the most part.  I used mequite pellets and some pecan honey rub I picked up at Cabelas.  

here it is at 7AM  (i should have started it earlier!)
