Steps
1. Trim excess fat from the brisket using a sharp knife. Remove silver skin and connective tissue. Avoid shaping too much as it is a backyard brisket.
2. Season brisket with Rock's Bourbon Brisket Rub, made from bourbon barrel-aged salt, black pepper, garlic, sugar, and brown mustard. Coat generously, patting well on all sides.
3. I set the temperature on my Traeger Timberline XL, at 225º with Super Smoke on for the first two hours, then turned it down to 180º and let it smoke overnight for about 8-10 hours. In the morning, check the internal temp has reached between 160-170º and then I’m ready to wrap.
4. Wrap the brisket snugly in a large sheet of butcher paper by folding the edges and tucking the ends underneath.
5. Place the wrapped brisket back on the smoker at 250º for 4-5 more hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 203°F. You’ll know it is done when it is probe tender, or simply put, the probe goes in with little to no resistance.
6. Take the cooked brisket off the smoker and let it rest for a minimum of one hour before slicing, but I typically shoot for two hours resting. The meat retains juiciness and flavor while residual heat continues cooking and juices redistribute. Patience is key!
7. To slice a brisket, you need a sharp knife and cutting board. Separate the point from the flat, then slice the flat into 1/4 inch pieces against the grain. Slice the point down the middle and then both sides into 1/4 inch slices. Take your time while slicing, then serve to friends and family!

Beautiful!!!!

[@smokedq]

Thank you…I appreciate it!!!!

[@JohnDoe-wk7um]

After you wrap it is it not a good idea to just use the oven the rest of the way???? Consistent heat and you don't have to use up your pellets???

[@JohnDoe-wk7um]

Just wondering it's how I do my ribs and they come out great. I have a cheap smoker and has big temperature swings.

[@smokedq]

I could see that as an option. Once wrapped you’re just cooking with heat, so wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work.

How do you like your Traeger thinking of picking up this model.

[@smokedq]

I love it! I’ve used Traegers for years after having kids and moving away from my stick burner out of necessity. The temp control responsiveness as well as the app helps me so much with my busy family life. But the induction top is maybe my favorite feature as it allows me to make an entire meal in the same place. It is a high price point, but I’d highly recommend!

Why is it upside down?

[@smokedq]

Fat side up, render more fat..fat side down, nicer bark for presentation. Thx for watching.

[@smokedq]

I do it both ways, this vid just happened to be far down.
