Our local grocery store had a great sale on brisket the other day, so I took advantage of the opportunity to pick up an 8 1/2 pound brisket at a great price. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Traeger Beef Rub, Espresso Rub, wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 24 hours. The next morning I fired up the grill, set the temperature of the grill to 225˚ and put the brisket in (minus the plastic wrap, of course) at around 7AM. Once it reached 165˚ I took it out, wrapped it in red butcher paper and put it back in and set the temperature for the meat at 202 degrees. I removed the brisket at around 6:30PM and we enjoyed it sliced thin, along with mac ‘n’ cheese, coleslaw, and homemade sweet cornmeal muffins. To the batter I added a bit of sugar, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, and a dash of canola oil, and topped with sprinking of sugar on top. First shot is the brisket just out of the grill, then sliced, then served. Shot with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

That looks delicious!

I've got to try smoking a brisket.
I have smoked several pork butts (we love pulled pork, also use the meat for carnitas),
many a spatchcocked chicken, but I've never tried brisket.

Do you spray your brisket with anything while it is smoking?
Also, which wood flavor(s) did you use?

Hi, Irene,

I’ve done a pork butt, too, but we ended up with way too much pulled pork. We ate so much we got sick of it.

I haven’t sprayed my briskets with anything yet, but there are several recipes calling for spraying with apple juice/cider, or a combination of apple juice and lemon.

I do my beef with either hickory or mesquite pellets, and applewood pellets for pork or chicken.

Thank you Yorkie. Yes, I thought that the smoke ring turned out very well. Often it’s much paler than that, so I was pleased how the brisket turned out. Next project? Pork chops.
