What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[yz9890]

Did my best brisket yet yesterday using a 10# Flat I picked up at SAM's. Tried something new that a friend from Duluth has been doing for a couple years. Nice Bark, nice smoke ring and literally falling apart when slicing it.
Using a Traeger:
Started @ 3:00a set @220* with Mesquite
8:30a internal temp was 165*<> put in pan with beef broth and tightly covered with foil, temp still set at 220*
2:30p internal temp was at 204*, reduced temp to 180* and let it do its thing till 4:30p
Placed in oven covered with towels for 45min to rest.

At 8:30a


Ready to eat


It was moist, tender, full of flavor and I ate so much of it my piss smelled like brisket......

Did you use the juice when you served it?

I saved the juice to make gravy to go with Chicken Fried Steak (NY Strips) which is tomorrows dinner.
We typically just drizzle a little doctored up BBQ, just a little so not to take away from the meat.

Last time i did a brisket I mixed it with just a little BBQ sauce after I separated the fat from it and it tasted great. I didn't poor it over the brisket but left a small dish of it next to the brisket.

I generally like the brisket pretty much plain but I liked this a lot.
