  • 1

  • 2

    Trim any excess fat off of the brisket. Place in a high-walled aluminum pan or tub.

  • 3

    Make the beef broth injection: In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the beef broth, 2 tablespoons Traeger Coffee Rub, and 2 tablespoons of salt, stirring until the salt dissolves.

  • 4

    Use a meat injector to inject the beef broth mixture into the brisket by inserting the needle parallel to the grain about 1 inch apart in a checkerboard pattern over the entire brisket, pulling the needle back out as you press the plunger.

  • 5

    Season the exterior of the brisket with remaining 2 tablespoons Traeger Coffee Rub and remaining 2 tablespoons salt.

    Insert the probe into the thickest part of the brisket. Place the brisket directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160℉, about 6 hours.
