Preparation When I moved to my farm about 17 years ago, there on the property were several dozen old, shapely apple trees. My second year there, I harvested my first full crop from them. I was astonished at their productivity, the variety of fruits, and the absolute tastiness of the apples. I had not touched the trees since I moved in: They had not been pruned, nor sprayed or fed, yet they produced a flavorful crop that was excellent for both eating and baking, and amazingly juicy for pressing....

After testing many recipes and getting to know our Traeger Jr. smoker well, I’ve finally gathered enough confidence to take on the beef brisket. Not just any brisket, but a Japanese A5 wagyu brisket. Ever since we got the Traeger smoker, we have tried cooking all types of meats with it. Chicken (Shio Koji Chicken is amazing when smoked), pork shoulder, turkey, and of course, baby back ribs. All the smoking frenzy over the past year is the result of me eating at Franklin’s BBQ in Austin, and being inspired by their brisket....
