I did
1/2 Cup of coarse salt
1/4 Cup of brown sugar
A dash of “Stubbs Chicken Rub”
A few sprigs of Rosemary and Thyme.
8 Cups of water.
Dissolved everything by heating the first 4 Cups of water with the spices.
let cool and added 4 Cups of cold water.
Poured over chicken in a food safe bag and let it sit in the fridge for about 24 hours.
Rinse the bird and discard the brine.

Thanks. Appreciate it.
 
Woa Jake, what the hell is this rollercoaster??? One of your foil pans might be diverting heat or interfering with your probe?

Yeah that's the temperature bump to 195 with super smoke on. I just turned off super smoke to see if that levels it out.
The grill was doing that earlier this summer when I was cooking at that temperature. It didn't do that before.
I am sure Traeger would say those fluctuations are within their specifications.
If it continues, I'll pull the tallow pan and move one of the briskets to see if that changes it. It does look like a restricted air flow
