How To Smoke Brisket Flat On Traeger Pellet Grill

How do you trim silver skin?

Pierce a sharp knife between the gristle / silver skin and brisket flat meat. It’s a delicate dance to trim the silver skin without taking off brisket meat, so carefully and slowly do your best to lift the tough membrane from the beef and discard it.

How do you trim the fat cap on brisket flat?

Use a sharp paring knife or another sharp knife to trim off excess fat and silver on the brisket. The best way is to almost “shave off” a layer of fat at a time, so you don’t accidentally take too much off at once. You want to keep the fat cap on top intact, but trim it down to leave an even ¼ inch on top of the brisket flat.

Ingredients ---

Brisket flat (this recipe is with 5 LB, but will work for 6 LB as well, you’ll just need a longer cook time)

BBQ Seasoning (any beef / brisket rub)

Apple cider vinegar

What temperature did you set the Traeger to?

[FaithBaseWorkPlace]

This is a good video. You are making me hungry, lol. Great tips.

[tjnaevans]

A piece of bark came off on the paper? A disaster second only to the Hindenburg! Oh the humanity! 🙂 Seriously though well done video with solid advice! Subbed and smashed the like Thanks

[funtimeonline]

And at what temperature?
Help if you told us.

Also with the Fat Cap ect….You could snag some beef tallow and put a scoop of it on the bottom of the paper and a scoop on top of the meet as you go to wrap and place on the traeger….heats coming up from the bottom so you could still protect it with the fat cap down and the scoop of fat will melt down as it’s finishing

[jaysway]

Preheat the Traeger Grill (or whatever pellet smoker you’re using) to 250 degrees F for 15 minutes before it’s time to smoke brisket. Not in the video, but in the link

[zsschmidt]

A couple other options for rubs
12 Mesh pepper, Kosher Salt, & Lowreys Season Salt
2-1 on Pepper & K.Salt & a quarter portion of Lowreys

Or

Smoking Guns Hot & Cimmeron Docks

You didn't detail what temps! My pellet grill only gets to 190 tops when set on "Smoke". You can't reach an internal temp for the meat of 205 when the grill is only 190.

I just bought a 5 pound brisket flat and this will be my first time smoking one on my pit boss pellet smoker. I’m fairly new to the smoking game but isn’t a 9 hour cook on a 5 pound brisket flat a little excessive? I’m afraid it will really dry out the meat. A great video and very informative. Thanks!

[jamieVKNZ]

Is fat side supposed to be up or down during first stint? She said up but these comments are scaring me

[AndrewTodd-uuus]

When i let it rest i always wrap it in a towel and put it in a cooler for at minimum an hour. Game changer.

What temperature did you set your smoker to before cooking and after wrap?

[deathcap]

Howd you make a whole how to on how to cook a brisket and completely leave out the temperature you put your smoker on??? Smh

[clint]

Not one time did you tell peeps the temperature! lol

[shootermcgavin]

Always smoke fat side down when smoking on a pellet grill that size, at least for the first half. The heat source is directly beneath and your risk burning the holy hell out of it. Any other smoker should be fat cap up.

[gargarrett]

not for us - followed the recipe but turned out dry and well not good
