Steps:
- Season the brisket liberally with Traeger Beef Rub, then wrap in plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped brisket to the refrigerator and let sit for 12-24 hours.
- When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
- Unwrap the brisket. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, then place directly on the grill grates, fat-side down. Close the lid and cook until internal temperature reaches 160℉, about 6 hours.
- Remove the brisket from the grill and wrap in a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped brisket back on the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 204℉, 3-4 hours more.
- Remove the brisket from the grill and let rest in the foil for at least 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice against the grain. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right brisket: A good brisket should be at least 8 pounds, with a thick layer of fat on top. The fat will help keep the brisket moist during cooking.
- Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat on top. This will help the brisket cook evenly.
- Season the brisket: Rub the brisket with your favorite spices. A simple salt and pepper rub is a good option, or you can use a more complex rub that includes garlic, onion, paprika, and cumin.
- Smoke the brisket: Cook the brisket on your Traeger grill at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Smoking an 8-pound brisket on a Traeger grill is a great way to enjoy a delicious and flavorful meal. By following these tips, you can cook a brisket that is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. So fire up your grill and get started!
