Hi all,
Brisket is something that I have always enjoyed at BBQ joints throughout the US, however it is something that is not that common here in Canada. I recently found a brisket at a local grocery store and picked it up with plans to do it on my Traeger. I know that brisket needs to be done "low & slow" but other than that I don't know a whole lot. Wondering if anyone here can provide a beginners guide to brisket? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post your secret recipe!

Season it with Montreal Steak and throw it on your smoker @ 250 for 6-8 hours.
Keep the smoke up.
Wrap it in foil and finish in your oven, or your smoker at the same temp.
Put a fork in the thickest portion of the brisket and twist it. Now let go. If the fork doesn't move, it's done. If it does, it's not.
I'd suggest testing it around the 10-12 hour mark. Depending on the size of the brisket.
DON'T pull it out until it passes the fork test.
DON'T plan on eating it the same day. Make it the day before. This will keep you from rushing and having to "get it ready" in time for the dipschits you're cooking it for.
DON'T worry about internal temperature. Fork test. That is all you need.
You can agonize over rubs and amount of smoke until your death. But if you want to get past the butt-sniffing stage of learning how to do a brisket, follow the above. It is not complex. It is fugging easy. Just follow what I wrote. You can tune from there.

dvdegeorge,
It was listed as a "Brisket roast" and was cryovac'd. It had the rounder shape of a roast, not flat. Does that change anything?

A whole packer will go 12lbs and up I prefer not to foil a packer A flat will dry out if not foiled Foiling is ok but you lose the texture and crunch of the bark when foiled If you can take a picture of the cut

New BBQ joint in Springfield, MO. Wife went there a couple months ago. Took me there a few weeks ago. We walk in and she tells owner she loved the rub on the brisket the last time.
"Yeah, I've heard that, I thought about bottling it and selling it, but I just can't bottle salt and pepper and sell it with a clear conscience."
There is 1500 ways to rub a brisket, and I don't think any of them are wrong.

I'm guessing it to be about 5-6 lbs. It's in the freezer at the moment as I'm waiting for some warmer days run the smoker. -20C tends to eat up the fuel quick! It's supposed to get around freezing this weekend so I was thinking of doing it then.
