Dummy Set Temp Too High
Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2018 10:57 am
First time using my new Traeger, bought from my dad who used it twice over a couple years and didn't have the patience.
Cooking a 7lb brisket, center-cut flat. Brined it overnight in the fridge. Was supposed to preheat to 225. I did that, but in my tired state, moved it to 275, then put the brisket on. Recipe said to do it at 225 for 3 hours, then double wrap in foil and raise temp to 275 for 3-4 hours or until internal temp at 203. Then rest it for 30 mins without foil, on grill, then 15 mins off grill before slicing. Link to recipe:

I was using their iOS app and the paragraphs just ran together a bit for me and my eyes went to the 275. So irritated. So after three hours, I went to wrap it in foil and realized what I did. For now, I'm dropping the temp back to 225 for a bit, hoping it's not already ruined. Internal temp is at 157.
If anyone is on, would LOVE some advice on how to save this. For now, going to simply watch the temp and wait until I get close to the internal temp, then maybe crank the heat back up. Called a friend who mentioned possibly adding some moisture in some form to keep it from drying out, but I haven't done that yet.
Thanks!
