Trim the hard fat & loose/uneven meat off of the brisket.
Coat the brisket in the yellow mustard.
Season first with a layer of the beef rub, then add a layer of coarse black pepper on top.
Let your brisket rest at room temperature while you preheat the Traeger to 200°F on Super Smoke mode.
Place your brisket directly on the grates of the smoker and let it smoke for 8-12 hours until it reaches 170°F internal and the bark is firm and set.
Wrap the brisket in pink butcher paper and place back on the smoker. Increase the temperature on the smoker to 250°F.
Let smoke for another 4 hours until it reaches 203°F internal.
Remove the brisket from the smoker, leave it wrapped in the butcher paper and place it in a dry cooler or Cambro for 2 hours to rest.
Slice and serve immediately.
