Little Sunday Brisket

GMDGeek · Sep 8, 2013

Kroger had brisket on sale last week for $1.69lbs ... they also took several flats and cut them in half. I bought a couple whole briskets and several half flats.

Today, woke up with my back kicking my ass (compressed disc) but wife really wanted BBQ and surprisingly to me had taken one of the half flats out last night.

I did a little trim to it, used my home rub, then threw it on the Traeger @ 250 for about 3 hours, wrapped it, 1.5 hours longer and pulled it at 200, let rest for 30 minutes. This is the end result - tasted great, killer moisture, best I've done so far.

If looks could add weight, I'd have put on 10 pounds just looking at that!

Good eats!

And people say pellet poopers don't make enough smoke. Judging by that ring, it sure looks like it. Very good looking!!

Maybe my memory is in a need of a good reboot,
but that's the first good cook with a 1/2 flat I think
I've read. :thumb: I picked up a full flat w/point for $1.67 the
other day but my cook is on hold do to family health
problem.

I agree. The stuff I'm seeing coming off of pellet smokers tastes smoky and looks beautiful.

I have an offset stick burner in addition to the Traeger. To answer the question about the smoke ring / flavor ... I do taste more smoke on the offset but my rings on both are about the same. I found one of two tricks for working the Traeger to get a smoke flavor.

1. Set it to SMOKE and put the meat on for 1 hour, then kick the temp to where you want.

OR

2. Every hour or so I'd jump up and flip the temp from 250 to 275 for about 5 minutes. This kicks the pellet pooper into gear and causes a bit of smoke as it works to raise the temp. Down side is it can cause some ash build up but if you clean your pit after ever cook its a non-issue.
