My first ever brisket. Put it in at 190 around 6pm and left it till 7 am then wrapped with butcher paper and turned it up to 195 and came back around 2 hours later and cranked it up to 250 for about another 4 hours.

    How was it to you?

    Why did you trim it like that? To a point in the flat? Very little fat cap? I’m curious.

    Also, can anyone tell me what the web like fat is in the dead center?

    Looks delicious at the same time it looks like a great smoked tuna

    If I do the math….19 hrs? Your temp is too low to render fat and honestly may be too low to prevent food spoilage.
    I can recite the Traeger recipe….225 until 170, wrap or foil till 203, rest for an hr and enjoy. That puts me usually around 10-14hr to the table.
    Buy quality brisket …prime grade from your local Costco.

    190 is too low to render fat. You can see the yellow seam of fat in the middle. I’ve made the same mistake thinking it was done without that fat seam being completely rendered down, which keeps the meat juicy. I wouldn’t cook any lower than 225 for a thick cut like brisket.
