Lots of different schools on brisket and they all work. I prefer low and slow. I start out at 225 for a least 6 hours. I get a great bark by doing that. Once I hit 160 degrees, I wrap and increase my temperature to 275 until I hit 205 degrees internal temperature, then I pull it. I let it rest for an hour and it is brisket perfection. If I do burnt ends, I cut off the point and cut my cubes and then they go in a pan with aux jus and bbq sauce for another hour. Meat candy.

I’m going to be really irritated if my brisket sucks today at 275

I spent summers in Brownwood Tx BBQ'ing with my grandfather back in the 70's. BBQ wasn't really "trendy" as it is now so it was a MUCH simpler thing. Anyhoo...his "pit" was literally a PIT. He had a hole in the ground in which he had re-bar and a sheet of expanded metal. On Sunday morning he'd get up early before church and build the fire (Oak/Mesquite out there) while he got the brisket out and seasoned it with nothing more than yellow mustard, salt/pepper. Once the fire burnt down to a pile of hot coals, he'd then place the meat on the expanded metal sheet then lower that onto the re-bar which was about a foot over the coals. He had an OLD wheelbarrow(metal wheel) which was the cover. He'd simply flip it over the pit and go in, wake us up and we'd go to Sunday school and church. We'd get done around noon or so(Southern Baptist ministers don't wear watches!lol! ) then go and get a milkshake for lunch. After getting my church clothes off, I'd climb the peach tree so my grandmother could then slice and make peach cobbler and my grandfather would usually take the brisket off about then and let it sit until the cobbler was done. Sliced it up, ate and had peach cobbler for desert. A real central Texas meal!

Do you have any tips on what may have happened or could even just simply explain what you mean by the learning curve and how it relates to the paper and foil? Thank you! - Also anyone else that wants to help explain please do!

I like this recipe because it gets the brisket done quickly. Most recently we followed malcolms method on the traeger of 195 overnight and then i think 250 the next day and the difference in the texture was noticeable. The malcolm method was the best brisket we've ever done. This one was good and took a lot less time. This is a good method depending on the amount of time you want to put into it.

I’ve also cooked this several times now...using the HD aluminum foil. I’ve used Hickory pellets and get a great smoke ring and flavor. The only deviation I’ve made is to trim and season mine and let it rest overnight in the fridge. I pull it out 1 hour before the cook to let it come up to temp a bit. After the cook I wrap it in towels while still in the foil and put it into a cooler until ready to serve. It turns out great every time and takes the anxiety on everyone waiting for dinner. I’m also a Meat Church congregant, I can vouch that the Holy Cow and Holy Gospel are great! Go easy on the holy gospel if anyone is adverse to “spicy” foods.

@@esairamirez6792 I'd suggest using a constant monitoring thermometer, like the Weber iGrill (this is the one I use: www.weber.com/US/en/accessories/cooking/igrill-and-thermometers/7203.html). The cook time will vary wildly depending on the size of the brisket and the ambient temp around the smoker. For example, I just cooked a 15lbs (untrimmed weight) brisket this weekend: Ambient temp at the start of the cook was 71 F and the first phase of the cook (before wrap) only lasted 4hrs and 45 mins to get to an internal temp of 165. The second phase of the cook (wrapped) only took 2 hrs and 40 minutes to get to an internal temp of 203...probe tender. At that point it was only 2:30pm...well before dinner. So I wrapped the still-foil-wrapped brisket in two bath towels and put it into a cooler (fat side up) to rest for a further 3 hrs and 30 mins. The results were fantastic. Cooking on a Traeger Pro Series smoker with Hickory Pellets.

Worked to perfection for me with a smaller brisket I picked up from Costco. Probe for temp was critical as at 275 it hit 160 in only 4 hours. Once I wrap in foil I put it in the oven as the pellets are pricey up here in Canada and it’s not like it’s going to get smokier when wrapped tight.

I usually cook mine at 250. At 275 degrees the internal temp gets to 165 degrees at around 4 hours for me with a 16lb brisket. At 250 you can string it out to be at least 5-6 hours of smoke time. I recommend butcher paper as well. With tin foil you are essentially steaming the brisket and you lose the crispy bark from the first part of the cook. The butcher paper helps release some of that steam allowing you to keep the bark.

I just bought a traeger a few weeks ago and did a brisket as my first cook. Turned out amazing, one thing I would change is to use a pellet tube to add extra smoke as well as a small water pan. Took about 9 hours for a 13 pound brisket, let it rest until it got to 150*f and slice into it. Everyone was impressed. So juicy, not too tender where it just falls apart but tender enough where it pulls apart very easily.

@Slimzyjoe

Those pellet tubes are not as glorious at they seem in your Traeger. The exhaust you may just think is a simple thing, but it's designed specifically in a way that your Traeger operates. Those smoke tubes do not burn clean enough and do not exhaust completely and that nasty thick, blue smoke they put off will deposit creosote in your grill over time. You don't even realize it until you cook something at high heat, and that shit will flake off. It's bitter, and will ruin your meat.

Bobbys Dad what temp you smoke at? As I’m bout to try a brisket but mixed on temps as I watched one at 250 and another at 225???

Hi Matt, I used your method for my very first brisket and came out really good, used aluminum foil to wrap. The only problem, there was about 3-4 cups of accumulated meat juice inside the foil which dripped all over while taking the brisket package out of the smoker. Will this happen if I use butcher paper? Since it’s known to breath, I wonder if the juices will seep through the paper or hold it like foil does? What tricks can you give to avoid this from happening? Maybe cut a hole towards the end of cooking, tilt the brisket towards the bucket and drain? Any other tricks would be appreciated.

Hey Matt! I’ve been doing stick burner Briskets and am going to attempt my first Traeger Brisket this weekend. This all makes way more sense to me as a stick burner guy than the Traeger recipe. My one question is did you spritz at all throughout this cook?

@kennyowensby5288

I had the same question, my first on I used the Traeger recipe and used some of the Kosmo Q brisket mop. Mopped it every hour that it wasn’t wrapped but it came out tasting like jerky and tough. Going to try this but idk if he spritzed or mopped.

Why use the separate temp probe ? Doesn’t the newer Tragers come with a temp probe built in?

@Cisco8484

The built in probe measures the air temperature inside the smoker. Smokers also come with a "leave-in" probe for the meat which I prefer over poking additional holes in the meat.

Oh wow looked delicious but I'm from west Texas I'd have to use mesquite wood. It's pretty powerful smoke so ik some people don't like it but it's my preference. Very awesome video though!! Saw some awesome tips I can't wait to use.

Great video!

Matt, great video! Need your opinion: I bought the Timberline 1300 and my brother has one of the original smaller Traegers. His briskets rock but mine not so much, we use the same technique. I’m wondering if the 1300 is too big of a grill for just one brisket and the heat somehow isn’t consistent as my brother’s smaller (same size as your 850). Thoughts?

I’ve never smoked a brisket that hot. I’ve had good luck at 180 and then turning it up to 225 after the wrap. Normally a 12 hour cook. Gets a deep smoke ring, juicy and tender. Everyone has their own way I guess

It's within a few degrees, not too bad. Just make sure to clean the sensor every other smoke.

just threw my brisket on the treager, my mouth is already watering... i better take a nap

So if your brisket gets to 165 internal at 275 to quickly then what so I'm saying it gets to hot to fast not long enough of a cook to break down the fibers

Just got my Traeger Ironwood 885 for Christmas. Followed your brisket directions to the tee....used a 15 lb Prime Brisket from Costco....I cooked it at 275 as instructed but by the fourth hour I was already at 165....Wrapped it in foil and an hour later I am at 205 degrees in the flat section.....checked probe temp against my thermoworks thermometer and temp was accurate.....how can you cook it for another 4 hours wrapped after 6 unwrapped.?
