Smoked Brisket on Pellet Grill

brisket

🥗Healthier: leaner cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: chuck roast

Chuck roast is more affordable and can be used for similar flavors.

Trim the brisket by removing thick fat and oxidized meat around the edges.

Season the brisket with hot barbecue rub and tx rub, patting it in.

Let the brisket sit for a few hours to allow the seasoning to absorb.

Preheat the Traeger pellet grill to 195°F (90°C) and fill the hopper with pellets.

Place the brisket on the grill, fat side down, and close the lid.

Cook the brisket overnight at 195°F (90°C) for about 8 hours.

After 8 hours, wrap the brisket in butcher paper and insert a meat probe.

Increase the grill temperature to 250°F (121°C) and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 202°F (94°C).

Once the brisket reaches 202°F, remove it from the grill and place it in a dry cooler for at least 1 hour.

Unwrap the brisket and slice it into pieces.
