Ingredients
main
| 1 | (12-16 lb) whole packer brisket |
| 3 Cup | water |
| 1/4 Cup | Butcher BBQ Beef Injection |
| 1 Teaspoon | white pepper |
| 1 Teaspoon | onion powder |
| 1 Teaspoon | garlic powder |
| 1 Tablespoon | beef bouillon |
| 1 Cup | kosher salt |
| 3/4 Cup | Black pepper |
| To Taste | Traeger Coffee Rub |
| 2 Cup | beef broth |
Special Equipment
| meat injector |
1
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
2
Trim all of the fat off the top of the brisket. Trim the fat cap on the bottom to 1/4 inch thick.
3
In a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the water, Butcher BBQ Beef Injection, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and beef bouillon.
4
Use a meat injector to inject the liquid across the top of the brisket in a 1-inch checkerboard pattern.
5
Season the brisket with salt, pepper, and Traeger Coffee Rub.
6
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the brisket. Place the brisket directly on the grill grates, fat-side up. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, 4-5 hours.
7
Remove the brisket from the grill and wrap in a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving one end open. Pour the beef broth into the opening, then seal the packet.
8
Return the brisket to the grill and re-insert the probe. Increase the grill temperature to 250℉. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 204°F, 4-5 hours more, depending on the size of the brisket.
9
Remove the brisket from the grill and wrap in a towel. Let rest for 1 hour.
10
Unwrap the brisket and slice against the grain. Enjoy!
