My wife and I just bought a house and decided to host Christmas this year. I wanted to do something special so I sold a kidney and got a brisket.

Prep: HEB BBQ Salt and Pepper rub after trimming about a pound and a half off and threw it into a small pan to be thrown on the Traeger

Steps:

Traeger overnight at 180

Turned it up to 225 when I woke up

Meat began stall around 9:30, continued to stall until 1:00

I turned it up to 275 and poured the liquid fat on the brisket before heading a Christmas Eve Church Service

Pulled it when I got back and just let it sit on the counter for 45 minutes.

This was the first time that my family has abandoned other foods in favor of the brisket. I’ve never been more proud of a meat I’ve smoked in my life. Merry Christmas!
