First time using the foil boat wrap method. Would do that again, this was one of my best briskets for moisture and being rendered perfectly. I did an overnight cook and then held in my oven at 150° until it was time to eat

You really thought that BOAT method was more moist??? Defies everything logical but so does a lot of cooking... LOL

Seriously, I'd be scared to do it but I GOT to try it

I guess it is kind of the same line of the thinking of the pulled ham. You would think it would be so dry cooking till it pulls, but it isn't.
I did take it to 170 before I boated it. I liked that the end result didn't seem like a pot roast. I will do the foil boat again on my next brisket to see if it was a one off, or it just works better

Not cooked outside, but this is what mom wanted. Homemade 'pickled' pork cottage roll (basically it is brined like a corned beef done with pork instead). Similar to ham, if I had to describe the texture. Then its boiled with cabbage. This is my favorite when it comes to meats

Yup, cooking logic... don't get me started.. hahaha

Okay, good, makes sense. I agree about the potroast taste, anything to keep an $80 piece of meat from tasting like a $10 piece is worth a try in my book...
I think it's always harder on a pellet smoker to give a Brisket a deep smoke flavor like a commercial food place gives with stick and charcoal or just real wood.

I need to try my Longhorn Smoker again... been away too long. Maybe I do the first half of a brisket smoke with real wood/coal... then use the trager for the 'boat' wrap...
WOW, an IDEA was just born...

I forgot to get photos (my bad), but last night, I cooked cedar plank salmon, corn on the cob, and sliced yellow squash and onion on my Traeger. All three of these items do best at hiigh temperature. I set the controller of my Ironwood 885 to 450F which resulted in a cooking chamber temperature of 400F. I put everything into the grill as soon as the while smoke turned gray. After the gill reached temperature, it took about 20 minutes for everything to be properly cooked. The meal was delicious.

The wild caught Sockeye salmon from Costco was seasoned with McCormicks Cedar plank salmon seasoning and placed on a cedar plank that had been soaked for a couple of hours. I get my planks from Amazon as they are cheaper that way.

The corn, still in its husk, was soaked along with the cedar plank before being placed in the grill. That allows the corn to steam inside the husk. It is far better than boiled corn. I seasoned the corn with butter and Famous Dave's Rib Rub seasoning. Be careful not to overdo the seasoning.

I cut the onions and squash into 1/2 ainch thick slices. I placed them in a grilling basket and seasoned them with Greek Freak seasoning I got from Costco. This is a rather new addition to my spice cabinet, but I have been impressed.

I hope this post will inspire some of you to use your Traegers for something other than smoking, although I love doing that as well.
