Method
- Prepare the Brisket:
- o Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat to ensure juiciness.
- o Rub the brisket with olive oil to help the rub adhere better.
- Season the Brisket:
- o Generously apply Traeger Signature Rub all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating.
- o Let the brisket sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the Traeger Grill:
- o Set your Traeger grill to 225°F (107°C) and allow it to preheat with your choice of wood pellets (hickory or mesquite work well).
- Smoke the Brisket:
- o Place the brisket on the grill grates and close the lid.
- o Smoke for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (91°C).
- Add Moisture:
- o During the smoking process, periodically baste the brisket with a mixture of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Rest the Brisket:
- o Once done, remove the brisket from the grill and let it rest, covered with aluminum foil, for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and Serve:
- o Slice the brisket against the grain to ensure tender slices. Serve with your favorite BBQ sides and enjoy!
