I don't think I'm off the rails yet, so I'll tempt fate and post an update. I'm 2 hours in and have had it on the Smoke setting since 8:00 AM. The temp near the brisket has probably been averaging 185 degrees. I'm using a smoke tube and I put in a small water pan since I'm not planning to spritz. Pellets are a Traeger blend that I bought at Costco, both in the hopper and tube. Hoping to wrap in foil between noon & 1:00PM, once it gets into the stall. No clue on timing - I've taken directions from about 5 different recipes.
Just bumped the controller to 250, assuming that it will put the right side of the grill at around 225 or so.
