Hello, everyone! Long time no see! I have a new Z-Grills smoker (Traeger knockoff) and it's so amazing. I love it so much and am glad to no longer be wrestling with charcoal (I'm just too lazy).
Anyway, I've been so impressed with this smoker and everything tastes delicious! However, I've noticed that I never get that black bark on the outside of my briskets. It's decent bark and there's a beautiful smoke ring. But it just gets this beautiful rich amber color.
Being used to a charcoal smoker, this is really unusual to me. But maybe it's normal? I've seen videos of people with similar smokers and their briskets are black.
I'm smoking at 225 and cooking to 202 F. So, it's not like it's in there for a short time or anything.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks! Hope you're eating a lot of great BBQ this summer (since we can't really do much else!)
