      Fat cap down means the fat part of the brisket lays ON the grates? If so, that would mean that the fat part of the brisket on your particular smoker, would be facing the heating element that’s on the bottom?

    Matt, I watched this video several times, took notes, and printed the recipe just so I could do exactly as you did preparing this brisket. I followed your instructions to a 'T' and my full packer brisket that I smoked this past Labor Day was a huge success!! I did everything just like Matt except I didn't use as much of Holy Cow but a little heavier on the Holy Gospel. After I trimmed all the fat, I made some tallow and what meat I trimmed off, I ground it all up and put in the freezer for later use. Thank you Matt and Chad for this amazing recipe and lesson on how to bring a little Texas to my home. I'm from Texas but I moved to North Dakota in 1979. There is nothing like a good ole' Texas Brisket and I love my Traeger!!

    I've cooked over seventy briskets and screwed up a lot in the beginning. There are so many variables. My advice if you're a beginner is smoke it at around 225 to 250 fat side up, wrap in a foil boat around 160 roughly (which creates a bark and will keep the lean moist). Cook to around 200 then rest it for around fifteen hours in a cambro at 145 or a Breville oven which can go to lower temps. Resting that long is critical for a killer brisket.

    • @SaL-ep7zb
      @SaL-ep7zb Місяць тому

      When you wrap it and place it back on the grill are you keeping the temp at 250F? Or are cranking up the temp to 300F until internal temp reaches 200F?

    To me, your overnight method is the "ol boy" method for me. Just so easy, and produces a fantastic final product. I felt a little weird the first time, going to bed while the Traeger is running, but when you get up in the morning and find your brisket isn't over cooked, and then the final product after finishing it is just superb.

      Try turning it over every couple hrs. Don't forget to rotate as well. Faster, more even cook. When you really get adventurous. Try smoking it until ready to pull without wrapping. I suggest making a sop mop and start applying when it hits around 180 on the lean. Once done wrap it up tight with a little of the mop for the rest.

    Question.
    1. My Treager doesn't smoke over 225.
    2. At 225 or lower, the smoke is maybe 5-10minutes
    3. Treagers pellets are seasoned (on the bag reads seasoned hardwood?). What's up with this?
    4. How do I get it to smoke more,longer, and smoke flavor?
    5. Can I use other suppliers' pellets? If I'm buying hickory, mesquite, and so on, I want the real deal.
