This is one reason that bottled tea that you buy at a store is not as healthy as freshly brewed iced tea. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/08/... I keep my sweet iced tea in the refrigerator enclosed in a lidded container for at least the third day. It still has its taste and smell! Try it! Another tip that I just recently discovered is to make ice cubes with the tea instead of water.
Dissolve salt, and sugar in water add ice, then let it cool. Place the brisket in the brine and cover, leave it brine in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to cook, remove the brisket from the brine and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle evenly with Traeger Beef Rub. Start the Traeger grill on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
I am new to this forum and new to having a Traeger. I got a Traeger Professional for Christmas. It is last years model (no SS lid). I have added the digital thermostat as well. I like it for smoking and BBQ, but it does not get hot enough for grilling.Mine was only getting to 385 or 390. The dealer took it back to the shop and worked on it. He said that he called traeger and they told him it had a rod in the auger that was put in because it was running to hot and to remove it. am new to this forum and new to having a Traeger.
