I think I’ve mastered “my” perfect brisket in a pellet grill.
I’ve smoked a couple of dozen briskets in my life, primarily using my old offset.
Wife got me a Traeger for convenience
This was a Prime brisket from Costco
I trimmed the fat, not too aggressively. I applied Killer Hogs TX brisket rub, with and a layer of Killer Hogs BBQ Rub. Let it sit on the counter for about an hour and a half.
Put it in the Traeger at 200° with a smoke tube when I went to bed at 9:30 PM.
Didn’t open the lid until 7:00 AM, temp was 168.
Wrapped in butcher paper with some beef tallow upped the temperature to 250° back in the smoker and pulled at 202° (probe went through like butter)
Then wrapped brisket (still in butcher paper) in syran/plastic wrap. Put it in my cooler (lined with towels) and a towel on top. Rested for six hours.
Hands down the best brisket I’ve made

Thanks for this, I would love to try this by my own. I think it’s perfect for a night date 💯🥰
Thanks for gracing us lowly pellet smokers
How long did it cook at 250 wrapped before you pulled it?
Dope Ragweed sticker… and brisket!
that………..is arousing. You seeing anyone?
I need to give brisket a go again I stopped after failing a bunch but you people give me hope and the munchies. That looks amazing 🤤
Once you pulled it at 202, did you wrap again with new butcher paper and more tallow, or same butcher paper directly followed up with saran wrap?
