The corned beef brined for 10 days. It is seasoned up and sitting in the fridge now.
I'll throw it on tonight and it should be ready for the next step in the morning

I'm excited...

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.

Pastrami is on for a night's kiss if smoke
Using Furtado Farms Pellets. Mesquite pellets in the hopper, oak pellets in the smoke tube

Well it ain't a pellet grill, but I have to keep the BGE's from molding up.

Reminds me I need to fire mine up again.
Those would be some awesome burgers on there

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
