About 300...Not really a low and slow cook. It turned out great though. It was also only a flat, not a whole brisket (about 9 lbs after trimming)
How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

Looks great! I am more and more convinced a long rest is crucial. How did you rest for 7 hours? I have used a cooler and it won't really last 7 hours and stay warm enough. I have tried the oven and it worked well but the lowest my oven can be set is 170, I would prefer 150.
It was the first brisket I've ever done...so I didn't want to ruin a 20lb piece of meat!
Don't blame you. And it was good so that's all that matters.
We smoked burgers for lunch @ 245°
We smoked steaks for dinner @ 225°
I wrap my brisket in butcher paper after about 5/6 hours of smoking. Used the cooler with wrap still on it. Left it outside in the sun in 90+ heat. It was still pretty warm when we ate it.
Crutched the big butt at 165f and at ten hours hit 204f. Took nearly two more hours for the two smaller ones to hit 202f. Gotta love that stall.

Brisket has been my favorite for a while. This 13.5 lb is from walmart. Smoked it overnight to 170 degrees then wrapped. When done I will hold in the oven until dinner time.
Been trying to buy brisket up here but all we were sent regardless of what company I look at are not so great. The flats are so thin that they will be cardboard before the point even gets close to done.
Smoked a spatchcocked chicken yesterday afternoon. Going to use the meat for another recipe later this week.
I just picked up a char broil gas grill. I can cook burgers and steak on the pellet smoker with the sear grates but it's not the same.
I got the Performance model it won't take up much space. I got it from Lowes.

I am thinking about trying the Sear Daddy https://smokedaddyinc.com/product/the-universal-sear-daddy-pellet-grill-searing-station/ and see if that would let me retire my gas grill. Any other pellet heads on here try one?
My MAK pellet grill can hit nearly 900° degrees. I'd still rather sear steaks on my BGE.

I use this on a my pellet smoker, and now on my gas grill.

I have seen those and Smokin Brothers has their system that has deflectors to push more heat onto the grill grates. https://www.grillgrate.com/products...aiFWMmstEVRgwnnyUOASjeaxvMRcUie4aAiNSEALw_wcB
