Traeger cook today

I worked my brother's Memorial  Day sale today and we cooked on a Traeger.  It's a set it and forget it way of cooking.
 
I took pictures during the day so you could see the progression of the cook.
 
The Traeger has 3 settings...  smoke, medium and high.  This was set on smoke and let there for the day, not touching the brisket.
 
Raw meat set on the Traeger grill.  It was rubbed with a spice mix.

I asked my brother what he thought of the Traeger now that it's made in China.  His answer is that he can't see any difference.
 
I went home after 8 hours.  I suspect my brother had a good dinner.
