Picked up a Traeger at Costco last Thursday along with a couple of different flavors of pellets.
Assembled it and seasoned with the intention of trying it out yesterday. I also picked up a 5 pound brisket flat at Costco.
Having no experience in the art of smoking it went pretty well. I do enjoy cooking and grilling so I used some common sense and all went well.
1) Trimmed the fat from the back side leaving a thin layer. Injected with broth and butter.
2) smoked for 4 hours @ 225º until internal temp reached 165º.
3) Placed in aluminum tray poured the remainder of broth, covered and cooked another 3 hours @ 250º until internal temp reached 205º.
4) Placed the entire sealed tray inside an insulated bag and let sit for one hour to rest.
5) Carved in 1/4" strips against the grain and served with baked sweet potato steak Frys and fresh salad.
Not bad for a novice so any advice is welcomed as I'm always willing to learn. BTW, those jalapeños where awesome.
Happy Easter.
