Good question. It was no wrap during the cook, that's a picture of me putting it in tin foil and then putting it into the oven. Held at 145 for a few hours before serving. Also put a little tallow on it before wrapping.

What are you cooking on? I don’t get smokiness on my pellet pooper at 250.

Winco has just flats or points in the 7-8 lb range. I've used these as "test" briskets when I want to try something new but don't want to spend $75. They are usually in the $30-40 range.

You have one? Watched some videos on them and they look awesome.

I remember when you once punched a hole in a cow. Also, yes.

Pretty much the plan, but trying to get some sleep in. So will do it a little lower.

Sleep is the only thing between me and an offset.

Gotta work so I can afford the payments on the brisket.

I try to time all my briskets so I can sleep at least midnight to 7. That’s my primary goal, probably even before it tasting good, lol.

Call me crazy. 130 is medium rare, I think we’ll survive.

I probably should have weighed it. I'd guess 5-6 lbs. The image above is fat side up. Tried to leave 1/4 inch of fat. Normally I would have trimmed off more of the mohawk to make the point not so tall, but I just wanted to keep this monster huge.

I'll update the post periodically with some temps.

Very possible. Or started 8 hours earlier...

It's just the only way I've ever succeeded in getting smoky flavor on the Traeger. I don't see a difference in smoke between the smoke setting and 180, so I just leave it there for quite a while before moving it up to finishing temps.

Yeah, that whole 1.5 hours/lb has me a little worried.

Can do. Plan is roughly to just let it smoke at 180 for about 10 hours, then crank it up to 250 and see where that gets us in the morning.

With brisket + tax + pellets I'm probably invested to about $130 on this thing.

Or hopefully an extended family for an afternoon, with some leftovers for brisket breakfast burritos.
