Preheat Grill and Place Brisket

What happens here

Preheat your Traeger pellet grill to 195 degrees Fahrenheit (the video shows adjusting the temperature from 165°F to 195°F and then pushing the 'Ignite' button). Once the grill is preheated and producing smoke, carefully place the seasoned brisket fat-side up directly onto the main grill grates. Insert the Traeger temperature probe into the thickest part of the brisket's flat section, avoiding any large pockets of fat or bone. Close the grill lid to begin the long smoking process.

Goal: Start the initial smoking phase of the brisket.
