My name is Rick. I have been using a Traeger for about 9 years. Completed my first brisket today using the 640. Very disappointed in the smoke flavor. I've been looking at the info on this topic and it appear this is very common. I understand I am learning to cook an a new cooker and there will be a learning curve, but I was led to believe this smoker would be an upgrade in smoke flavor from my Traeger.

Hi Rick, I'm interested in the learning curve you have just begun to take. What have you tried since that first brisket?
