Hey lady, keep the hair out of my brisket!

Haven't done a brisket yet. So far the pork shoulder has been the biggest
chunk of anything put on
there. Might buy and try a brisket this weekend. I'd hate to screw up a
$40 chunk of beef though.


Brisket was a cheap cut of meat. Now a days, meat pricing is really
weird. I bought black angus T-bone steak on sale a week ago for $4.99 a
pound. Brisket was $8.

You should know by now that there's nothing to screw up. Season the
meat, put it on the grill, and make sure it doesn't run out of pellets
before it's up to the correct temp.

Done.

Done unless the controller decides to go ape ****! I've been giving some
serious thought to another
controller for this thing.


It is under warranty. Just call up Treager. My controller went bad,
they sent me a replacement. Takes 5 minutes to change. Couple screws and
a plug.

You must have missed the post in which I said I'd already been sent a new one. It's acting up also,
but I'll try all the fixes suggested by customer service.
