Throw the pellet smoker away and get a pit barrel cooker or a real stick burner.
If you really are dead set on extreme laziness then a gravity fed smoker would do you well but it would never output the same quality smoke as the above options.

>>19617884
I put a decent amount of salt on the meat of boths sides cause its alot of meat then i slatherd it in musTARD and put on pepper

I actually have a weber smokey mountain which i love but its not very big for large peices of meat, i just wanted to try pellet grills out

I tried grilling on it, cause it said you could, ITS FUCKING HORRIBLE, DO NOT GRILL ON A TRAEGER. I've heard other types of pellet grils have a slid opening so you have direct flame contact which is probably better

PEPPER

>>19617915
will update in a couple hours or so on the bark

>>19617910
>>19617915
wtf are you doing. All a proper brisket needs is salt and black pepper, and smoke it on (post) oak

>>19617975
I salt mine a day or two ahead of my smoke and dry brine it then apply rub before smoking.

Traeger is a joke. I have a timberline and it’s been a pile of shit from day 1. Hot rod doesn’t ignite, the smart features don’t work. Pellets do not give any type of smoke flavor whatsoever, tried multiple brands and types. The only plus is that it holds temps in the wind and cold.

>>19618000
Yea if this turns out bad im going to clean it and try and sell it to get some of my money back


but i will try to get it to work

Any update anon?

>>19618863
yes, I have now wrapped it in foil
the bark ain't it but I hope when it's close to be being done I can unwrap it a but to solidify the bark more

While waiting for OP, going to post a couple photos of prepping smoked venison stew that I was going to do a thread on, then forgot halfway through prep

The veggies

>>19618936
Our egg providers get the scraps

>>19618943
The meat and wood

And then I got bored and realized making a thread where I show off my mediocre cooking skills would be kinda gay. Anyways, back to OP.

>>19618936
I’m following this. Looks good and I have some deer I need to finish up from last season.

No, pellet smokers are horrible for grilling. They are dedicated smoking devices. The little pellet tray in the center is not good enough to grill anything. I do not know why any of them advertise they can grill when they very clearly cannot do so. Even jacking it to max speed doesn't address the fact you have a MASSIVE hot spot in the direct center while the rest is cold. At best you could plop a cast iron pan onto it and do 1 steak at a time, but that shit is stupid.

>>19619115
Just as stupid as a pellet smoker in general.

>>19618889
How’s is coming along Anon?

>>19619616
so here it is looks alright and was prob tender, I'm going to cover this container with foil and put it Ina cooler over night

>>19619737
I also got some of this liquid gold out of it.

>>19619737
Nice, very curious how it turned out.

>>19619737
Looks pretty good to me. Thanks for the update.

You're going to fuck this one up too pal.

It's already over

>>19619954
>>19619951
well i just woke up, warming it back up in the oven as it was only like 90f ill slice it and take some pics

>>19619115
I don't have that issue at all, the entire area on my pitboss 850 heats up pretty evenly all around except couple inches of on the right side. Then when I open the tray up the center will heat up to 1,000 F, I can do stupid hot sear on 4 huge ass bones really easily.

>>19620643
honestly not bad I did have an issue with the brisket like sticking to the bottom of the foil which was super annoying

>>19620816
I think its overcooked but I didn't want the flat to be chewy

>>19620819
In conclusion i think i will clean up the pellet smoker and try and sell it on facebook, might lose a couple hundred on it but oh well

on my WSM i can get the same results and i can still grill with it too+ no extra parts that can fail down the road.

>>19618943
That rooster looks like a silver laced Wyandotte mix. With a weird comb as well. Tell me what you know about it

>>19620852
To be honest I don't know, allegedly a speckled sussex. When my wife and I bought this house the previous owners just abandoned their chickens

>>19621427
That's sad, poor animals.

>>19620819
Definitely looks better than your last attempt, good job anon. And good luck selling your meme smoker lol

>>19617975
Lol, that 'just salt and pepper' thing is a meme in Texas.
Everyone uses a proper spice rub and then jokes that it is just salt and pepper as an in-joke.

>>19620819
Doesn't look bad, anon. Last person's brisket I seen, it was dryer than my mom on date night.

>>19620819
don't overcook it next time
just keep the smoker numbnuts

>>19619737
>over night
This is where you fucked up. You just had leftover brisket. Should have eaten it roughly one hour after putting it in the cooler.

>>19620852
You know a thing about cocks I see.

This motherfucker doesnt even know how to season his brisket, disregard his opinion, i just KNOW his other grilling endeavors are garbage
PelletgrillCHADS, we stay eating good, WSMbrainlets stay seething.

>>19626307
OP is a brainlet magnet apparently. Why in the absolute fuck would you slice into a 10lb brisket only 1 hour after pulling? Do you enjoy the aesthetic of an oily mess on the counter more than the actual flavor and juicy texture of it inside of the meat?

>>19626414
We went through this last time when he made two separate threads. Homie doesn't understand how to cook. Last time he wrapped it in butcher paper and let it ooze grease out in his smoker for hours while shit posting, then took pics of oily paper and was confused why he had dry brisket.

>>19626477
Nigga dont know that the flats are shit for traditional bbq. Cure that shit for corned beef or pastrami. Sous vide it, then smoke a bark on it real quick if you must. Braise it. Make jerky. ANYTHING but try to make low and slow beef bbq out of it. Try doing a couple chuck roasts, OP. Those might work out better, they usually do. Maybe a boatload of ribs or chicken or a turkey. Stop fucking around with brisket flats low and slow, you're just polishing a turd.

>>19617975
You dumb nigger he did salt and pepper it.

>But it was heckin probe tender

>>19626607
Brisket flat is 100% one of the worst cuts of beef out there, imo.
You really can't do much with it. It makes mediocre stew, shitty smoked meat, mediocre braises, etc. Really, just good for slicing paper thin for sandwiches.
Brisket point on the other hand, is probably the closest thing to ambrosia humans can touch.
