1 (12-14 lb) whole packer brisket, trimmed
As Needed Traeger Beef Rub
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!
