@rafi_fronzaglia Brisket tacos on my brand new Z grills 1102B!! Thanks again @zgrills for sending me this beast of a pellet grill. My favorite feature is definitely the WiFi connectivity. The fact that I can adjust the grill temp and read the meat temperature from anywhere is insanely convenient. When cooking throughout the night like this it’s super nice to not have to get up from your bed to check the meat temp every 30 minutes or so.

Click the link in my bio to check out their wide variety of pellet grills Here’s the recipe: NOTE: every brisket is a bit different so I’m just going to tell you how I made THIS brisket. For the best brisket recipes & tips I suggest @jeremy_yoder and @chudsbbq on YouTube. -Also, the brisket I bought unfortunately had most of the point muscle cut off (despite being labeled as a whole brisket). I didn’t look hard enough at the brisket before buying it so that was my mistake. Brisket: -trim brisket (again see suggestions above for tips) -season with favorite seasoning blend. I used salt, pepper, lawrys, and garlic powder. -place on Z grills smoker on super smoke setting (160F) for 3-4 hours -bump up temperature to 225F, until brisket internal temp reads more than 175F -wrap brisket in butcher paper, and place back on smoker at 250F until internal temp reads about 205F. -remove from smoker and place in oven at 145F. -optionally, rest brisket back on the grill on the keep warm setting -rest for at least 4 hours. I rested 10 hours, it keeps getting better with time.
