Iowa | Traeger cherry for me, you can taste the smoke but it's certainly not overwhelming. I've found my pit boss burns hotter than what the temp shows. Definitely stay on the 180 or 200 setting at the most. My last two briskets got done too fast and were tough. A few hours in a crock pot with au jus made them tender. I normally put a tin foil tent over the brisket at around 160, i didn't do that this last time. I've never wrapped a brisket and the two I did last Year were tender as can be but took longer to cook. I think certain pellets just cook hotter no matter what setting you are on plus the amount of fat in the meet varies. For me after this last go around brisket is just a challenging meat to have perfect each time. Too many variables. | |
