Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Traeger Grill to 225°F.
  2. Generously season the brisket with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the brisket directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (roughly 5-7 hours).
  3. Roll out a large piece of butcher paper (or heavy-duty foil). Place the brisket in the center of the paper, roll the edge up and fold down to create a leak-proof seal. Return the brisket to the smoker, place it seam-side down and allow the weight of the brisket to keep the fold closed.
  4. Continue smoking at 225°F until the internal temperature reaches 204°F (roughly 3-5 hours).
  5. Remove the brisket from the smoker and place on a large cutting board to rest for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Cut the brisket against the grain. Serve as is or with your favorite Traeger Grills BBQ sauce.

Notes

If you're working with a smaller brisket, simply decrease the amount of seasoning. The cook times will only vary slightly but on average it should take around 11-13 hours to reach the finish temperature even if you're working with a 6-pound brisket.

How does the brisket come out? Tender? Juicy? Dry?

Coleman, that really depends on the type of brisket you buy. If you buy a fatty brisket it will be more juicy and tender than a lean brisket. Fatty brisket is the only way to go!!

David– You could use smoke mode here if you want an extra dose of smokiness. Smoke mode only works between 180-225°F, so you could use it in the first part of the smoke. I find it to be best if you are smoking something for a shorter period of time and want to really impart that smoke flavor, quickly. For this, the brisket is smoked at a low temp for so long that it’s not necessary. Hope that helps!

Sammie-
Just spices and not any ‘mop sauce’ like I see I’m so many recipes? This will be my first time smoking a brisket!

Thanks,
Marcie
