Equipment

  • Traeger pellet grill
  • Grill grate
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Foil
  • small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pound beef brisket
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth optional

Instructions
 

  • Trim fat side of brisket to 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Wrap in butcher paper.
  • Mix dry rub ingredients in small bowl. Generously coat brisket on all sides. Wrap in plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Preheat Traeger grill to 225 degrees F. Place brisket on grill grate, fat side up. Close lid.
  • Cook for 3-4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Baste every hour with mop sauce made of equal parts apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce.
  • When internal temperature reaches 195-205 degrees F, remove from grill. Double wrap in foil. Let rest for at least 1 hour or wrap in foil and towel and place in cooler for a few hours.
  • Slice against grain into thin slices. Serve with favorite sides. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 4 days or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For best results, use a whole packer brisket with both flat cut and point. Trim excess fat and connective tissue from point.
  • To add extra moisture and flavor, add beef broth to foil packet and place on grill.
  • Be patient and resist the temptation to turn up heat or open lid too often. Low and slow cooking is key to a tender, juicy brisket.
