Just bought this on FB marketplace for $475, BNIB. Retails for about $1200. Assembled and primed it and I made my first brisket later that night. Used Traeger brand signature pellets. Trimmed brisket and used Worcestershire sauce as a binder and a Texas Fajita seasoning that’s pretty much Garlic, salt and pepper. Preheated to 225 and put the meat in until it hit 160°. I pulled out, wrapped in butcher paper and put back until it hit 205. Then took out and let it rest for almost 3 hours bc I fell asleep. I took it out and there were a lot of parts of the brisket that felt charred. What did I do wrong? This was my first time ever doing a brisket.

*What seasoning did you use?

Traeger on!

And by charred I meant it felt like Jerky. Like it lost all the moisture and just shriveled up and dried out. Only in some parts.
What rack did you use bottom or top? In pellet grills the heat is coming from the bottom… top rack for the brisket, water pans with water under on the bottom rack.
