I am curious as to what the thoughts would be on this method for a 13 lb brisket with a pellet grill.
Inject brisket with beef broth and some phosphate.
1-2 hour at 160 ( high smoke)
cook at 275 until the outer portion is about 190 degrees
Then set the temp at 205 degrees.
My reason for this is that no part of the brisket would be able to get above 205 degrees. When I pull my briskets, the center temp is usually around 202, but other parts may be 5-10 degrees or warmer, especially those at the edges. the 275 would allow for bark. the injection would hopefully help retain moisture during the long cook. I'm thinking of starting this around midnight tonight and setting my alarm throughout the night to check temp. I may even drop to 205 when I see some 180-degree readings.
