Default Traeger brisket!!

So i picked up a 14 pound brisket the other day for 35 bucks! Looked too good to pass up, so i picked up some Montreal seasoning, some ACV and a case of beer to go with it!
First i rubbed it real good with S.P.G, the montreal seasoning (2 packs), cayenne pepper, and red pepper flake. After the rub, i let it sit in the fridge for ~24 hours in tin foil.
I woke up at 5 to start my traeger pellet grill, set it to smoke, and let it heat up a bit. After I threw the brisket on the grill I gave it a mopping of Apple cider vinegar, worchestershire sauce, some jack daniels and some red pepper flake ever 1-1.5 hours.
I left the temp to "smoke" the whole time and didnt transfer it to tin foil as I took it off when it reached 180 degrees internal. Glad i did because I dont think it would have been as good if i let it get to ~200 like the recipes said.

I should note that i smoked it fat cap up the entire time. I should have trimmed more fat off of the top beings the smoke didnt penetrate almost at all in the meat. Still, however, it turned out awesome, juicy and tender!

Anyway here are some pics of this thing!

The fat kept the juices in there is a fine line between trimming fat and taking too much off... Did you marinate it or just baste it??

Try marinating it for a day or two depending on size and amount of fat the rubbing it...

This.


Let it marinate for at least a day, the same applies to any other meats I prep. Just a nice little habit to get into.

That looks good! I have a traeger. I like it for everything except steak. I have a brisket in my fridge right now I need to smoke. Should be interesting.
