How to Smoke a Brisket on the Traeger Pro 34 Pellet Grill (1st Whole Packer Brisket !)

I seasoned up an 11.5 pound Black Angus Choice Brisket with SuckleBuster's 1836 Beef Rub, Campfire Steak Seasoning, and Competition BBQ Rub. My 1st brisket on the Traeger turned out Perfect !! Nice and Juicy, Perfect smoke flavor, a great smoke ring, and the flavor from the rub combination was Next Level Good !! I'm Impressed with this grill !!

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

That's a really wild smoke ring Sean, and that brisket was juicy as anything. Those sucklebusters are good, I've had the hogwaller and 1836 plus the lemon pepper thing all were good. I'm liking how that traeger holds temps. Have a great 4th weekend brother!

[@MoonshinesRoadhouse]

Hey Charlie ! Yeah Man I am Very Happy with this cook ! The brisket was Amazing ! I'm very Impressed with the Traeger !! If I hadn't known better ..I would say the brisket was smoked on my Old Country offset, Weber Kettle, or OHJ Bronco ! It was that good ! The temp is pretty consistent. Who would've thought you could get a Nice smoke ring like that from a pellet grill Huh ? Well..I'm a Believer now Man LOL !! Have a safe and Happy 4th weekend Brother !! Cheers !! 🍻👍😁😎

Thanks Jim! The Traeger does a great job on briskets! I love mine! 👍😁 I’m glad it helped you out! 😂 have a great week. Cheers Bro!! 🍻🍻👍🔥😎

[@stabb_wound9477]

How many briskets does the 34 cook

[@trailguy]

You can use a probe on the taters, too. Once they get to 205 you can take them off, their temp will rise another 5 degrees or so if you don’t cut them open for 5 minutes.

[@wandarawlins493]

Happy 4th Moonshine to you and the family, Stay Safe, Eat Lots of Food and Enjoy the Day! very nice cook, I had a laugh on this one, did you run that beef down and chop his side off? LOL it is a huge piece of beef... Blessings

[@billy_bonka2140]

Just bought a Traeger last night. Gonna break it in this weekend with first cook. I noticed the foil on the tray. Does that make cleanup a lot easier?

[@MoonshinesRoadhouse]

Hey Billy, Congrats on your new Traeger!!👊🔥 Yes the foil makes cleanup a lot easier. I also bought a small shop vac to clean the fire pot and inside of the grill after every few cooks. Happy grilling Brother!! Cheers!! 🍻🍻👍🔥😎

[@geraldborne94]

Awesome piece of meat there. You can lower your smoke stack top to get more smoke too man.

[@semicollin4517]

Can you write down the cooking times and temps in the description?

[@elijah21v]

Looks amazing. Can you give me a breakdown of how long you smoke it. At what temperature did you wrap it. And the internal temperatures when you pulled it. Thanks....nevermind found it in the comments. 👍

[@living4christ]

I have learned how to make the best brisket's. I buy mine from costco, I don't trim any fat off it. I use buttery steak rub over all of it. I put it fat side up and turn the trager to 180 for about 5 hours then turn it up to 225. When the internal temp in the largest part gets to about 165 I wrap it in butcher paper and pour a cup of water in as im wraping it up. Put it back on until the internal temp gets to around 203. I rotate the brisket every hour or so. One end will cook faster on the hotter part of it. After its done I put it in a cooler and let it set for 8 hours then its ready.

[@joekee5501]

[@zacharyschultz4752]

I’m new to Smoking and looking to buy this Traeger model. How long did you leave the brisket on Smoke setting?

[@MoonshinesRoadhouse]

Hey Zachary. I left it on smoke mode for 2-3 hrs. I love my Traeger!! This thing Rocks!! It's definitely a great choice!!👍 Have a good week Brother!! Cheers!!🍻👊🔥😎

[@robertgaritano7718]

So do you have the overall cook times and tempertures for a 11 lb brisket? I just bought this grill and I have no,experience with it.

[@MoonshinesRoadhouse]

Hey Robert. I'm sorry I missed your comment man. The cook time is usually different for each brisket. Larger briskets take longer and different grades of meat cook differently (Wagyu, prime, Angus, choice) Get Prime if you can. Angus and choice are ok too, but Wagyu is the best. I think Prime is the best for the money Lol!! 😂 The temperature is the important part. I'll smoke my brisket...whatever size it is, until the bark sets and the internal temp gets to around 165. then I wrap it up and crank up my heat to 225-275 and get the internal temp up to 195-212 degrees. make sure it probes TENDER with an instant read thermometer, and I also use my instant read thermometer to verify the temps. it just depends on the brisket as to how long it has to cook. depending on size and temp. it can take 6-24 hrs. Mine usually take 6-8 hours. Leave it wrapped and let it sit and rest to redistribute all of the juices...at least an hour. Hope this helps! Have a great weekend Brother! CHEERS!!

Ruined that brisket, painful to watch ugh. 375 is waaaay to high! 225-250 max, 12 hrs then wrap it. Fats not going to be rendered

[@j.p.6675]

Idk I was thinking the same but it looked amazing after. Did you watch till the final product?

[@Aaron-ii5tx]

@@j.p.6675it’s turned brown cooked to high and to long. O more than 225 12 hours wrap 2-3 hours done

[@Sig_P229]

250 max. Hmmm. 🤔 is that why Franklin BBQ cooks at 285? 225 is an ongoing lie that wastes time. 300 to 310 is the Malliard reaction. Anything under 300 is fine.
