my son bought a Traeger grille and smoked one with a rub from Texas, and the fat was soooo good that I didn't bother to trim it off! I think he said 16-18 hrs. on the grille!
still juicy !

I love it. My last cook was through the night for the 4th. It was a 13 lb. Brisket some ribs and ribeyes for that night's dinner.

The 2nd is there to protect the 1st. DTOM

I love smoking brisket. I usually use Butt Rub, let it rest to room temp. I give it a really strong smoke for 6 hours or whenever the stall hits. The stall is around 150 degrees. That's when the surface evaporation is equal to the amount of heat added. This can dry out the brisket if the fat cap is too thin. I keep mine at a 1/4inch thick. I use the texas crutch method, wrap the brisket in foil and mist it heavily with apple juice. You can keep it on the smoker and finish it or throw it in the oven. I favor the latter , it saves charcoal , and you're not adding much more flavor from smoke after 6 hours. I pull it when temps hit 195. I like to see it climb to 205 when resting. If its a smaller cut ill pull it at a higher temp. I rest it in a cooler to about 150 before I serve it. I love cutting it thin with my slicer and making philly cheese. mmmh

Had a coworker at my last job. He would smoke a brisket. He kept telling me about it. Then one time I tasted it.

Talk about dreamland! That meat was melting on the way to your mouth! Seriously. I never knew beef could be that tender.

Try taking the photo in landscape mode. This site did an upgrade some time ago, and since then, photos taken in the portrait mode get posted sideways. Go figure.
