First ever brisket!

Finally worked my way up to a brisket. 9.5lbs seemed good. I’ve done a number of smokes before but wow this one was it. Super smoked for 10 hours and then up to 250F. 2 hours in the hot rod went out and had to finish in the oven. Let me know what I could improve on. I wish my bark was darker but dammit it was juicy, delicious, and tender as hell.

First time smoke, how’d I do?

Was gifted my Traeger about a month ago. Did a cream cheese bloke but I didn’t count it as my first. Went on a week long camping trip with the family (including in-laws). Made this pulled pork before we left and damn I’m so happy with it. I will definitely coat it with more seasoning next time but it came out so great.

6.6 lbs
Mesquite pellets from bear mountain
12.25 hour cook time / wrapped at 6 hour mark
225 temp until 165 internal
Rested for 3 hours
