The APP COOKED MY BRISKET - Brisket on the Traeger Grill (with the assist from the Traeger App!)
Рет қаралды 6,269
2 ай бұрынWe've had the Traeger Ironwood XL pellet grill for about 8 months now, but we've never used the recipe feature that's built-in to the Traeger app... So today, we're putting it to the test to see can the app cook a brisket?
We were curious about a bunch of things - like will the temperatures of the grill automatically adjust based on the recipe that we chose to do from the app? Will the grill go into shut down mode automatically when the internal temperature of the brisket is reached? And how would the process go for using the Traeger app recipes feature?
So how did this Traeger brisket turn out - we made a mistake at the very end of the cook because we wanted to see what the grill would do - but other than that, it went great! Enjoy!

I've found in my newbie brisket cooking adventures that pulling a little earlier (195) and long heated rest works the best. I know Neil knows this, this comment is for those new to brisket. Don't be scared about an expensive price of meat. Jump in and enjoy.

I have done that same cook on my pellet grill. What I do when it hits 203 is I pull from grill and let it rest on the counter till it comes down to 160 then wrap in plastic and place in my warmer/oven at 145 for the long rest. You need to stop the cooking process. That's why I rest it on the counter first.

I have a Traeger and wish I could preset my own recipes in the app. It is great for the remote feature but wish I could set my own. Example Meat Church has an overnight brisket that you run at 200 overnight and bump up in the morning. To finish cooking. If I could program it to run 200 and at 6am go to 250 or 275 depending on when I want it to be ready that would be so useful. Even when I use the preset recipes I still and watching the cook and tweaking if needed. They are good for someone who has never cooked some of these meats but it is just a safe to eat might taste like a chain store bbq for most.

Fun experiment enjoyed watching. I have a Timberline XL with the wireless probes and they are down to the degree so this probably would have worked fine with my kit. We go to Kansas City at least once a year to eat BBQ. And while I will continue to love KC BBQ, Matt Pitman has taught me to cook a brisket on the Traeger that is as good or better than anything I have had anywhere else. Also, if or when they start offering the induction burner for the Ironwood, I would highly recommend it. One of my favorite things about the Timberline. My Weber Genesis side burner does not do well with the Nebraska wind. The Traeger induction burner has no issues with the wind. With my cast iron I like it even better than the gas burners in the kitchen.

@gosman949 Nice. Love Hasty Bake. I use lump charcoal often in a couple ceramic grills I have. I grew up where Hasty Bakes are made and am pretty familiar with them. Good grill but I have concerns about the carbon steel models rusting on inside. They are pricey for the stainless models. But worth it IMO. Would like to have one but own too many grills already. My wife wants me to get rid of some first. I love the Traeger for Brisket cooks especially. Prefer lump for chicken and ribs. My wife will only use Trager and gas grill. She loves Traeger because it works like her oven.

To me if your going to hold it overnight in a warmer or oven then I prefer to take it off when it reaches 195-198. The long hold in heat and the carryover will take it to the 203-205 temp. I kinda think that taking it off at the 205 and then a warmer took it to probably around 212. That's my personal feelings on it. I tried cooking from the app once and I didn't care for it. Matt from meat church is just up the road from me, I follow his channel but I never went there yet.
@ronjacob5911 2 ай бұрын
Maybe pull at 200 degrees and let the carryover take it to 203. I also have this pellet smoker and wasn’t aware of the Traeger App that pretty much takes over. Looked like a good brisket though even at 205.

Just curious, I'm not criticizing here. When it said to rest it why did you put it in a countertop over to continue cooking it? Doesn't rest mean leave it alone?
@PelletsandPits 2 ай бұрын
no....we held it at 155....which is around service temp...the brisket calmed down on temp and was held at that temp...thats literally called resting overnight...or could be called held at that temp...you have danger zones as well...anything less than 140 degrees til 40 degrees and left for 4 hours or more is considered unsafe...many people who rest in cooler with no thermometer have actually no idea what temp they have let it rest....

Pellets & Pitts, taking a brisket to 203-205 works well when you only have an hour or two for it to rest. If you hold a brisket overnight for 10-12 hours, you need to pull the brisket at 195-197, then hold it in a warmer at 150 degrees and that brisket will turn out really good, and not overcooked like Matt Pittman’s brisket. I guess he failed to write that Note in his damn recipe. SMH.

Why are you trimming your brisket like you are putting it in an offset smoker? It doesn't need to be aerodynamic for a pellet smoker. Cutting off a lot of meat, unnecessarily.
@PelletsandPits 2 ай бұрын
Completely wrong on that bud....wether its an offset or pellet smoker...its the same theory....not about air as it is the thinner parts of the flat will definitely overcook if not trimmed...its so thin...beef jerky would be tender compared to the flat if not trimmed...additionally if the meat is not trimmed you will have them same effect on the mo hawk etc...it sticks out and even with the amount of fat in it.....its small and the air will over cook it....definitely necessary....

The first 10 briskets i made with the Traeger I trimmed the fat first. I thought they tasted wonderful. So I brought some of mine to the fam get together and my brother, who has been doing this for many years, said dude.. this is too dry. It tastes good… but it’s dry. Are you trimming first? I said yes. He said try your next one not trimming until after it’s cooked. It was night and day difference. So much better trimming after cook. IMO.

@@PelletsandPits on the fat I cut off, yes, but the juiciness makes up for it. Try it next time. See what you think. This guy told me select is just as good as prime and he was wrong. There is a system for a reason. The better meat costs more. Lesson learned.
