Pulled Pork Traeger Recipe
Ingredients:
Bone In Pork Butt 6 to 10 lbs or more
Your favorite Dry rub for Pork
Apple Juice in spray bottle
Preperation
Rub Pork Butt all over with your favorite rub
Grill Setup
Start Traeger on smoke for 10 minutes with lid open'
Preheat lid closed to temperature 225
Some People smoke for first 3 hours either using 180 or the smoke setting
then raise to 225.
The Cook
Right before placing on grill spray with apple juice all over
Place Pork Butt on Traeger
Spray with apple juice every 30 minutes or so
After about 3 hours you can move to shallow pan with enough apple juice to cover bottom of pan
At about 6 hours place temperature probe in Traeger.
Continue to cook till an Internal Temperature of 203 degrees
The Wrap and Rest
Once desired temperature reached removed from grill double wrap in foil and place in cooler to rest for 1 to 3 hours. Pull and enjoy. We use a light coating of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce after we pull
Recipe Notes
I delay putting the Probe in because its going to take 10 hours or more to cook and the probe gives the smoke a few more places to escape.
Some people wrap the butt (Texas crutch) at about 160 to get past the stall
Tong Test if you dont cook to temperature --When you can lift the Butt with Tongs and the bone falls out its ready
For more Labor day cooking ideas see the Traeger Blog
Please Note:
Any recipe I make is just a guideline. I am not a big fan of gooey sauces so almost everything is I cook would be a dry rub. You of course should experiment and see what works best for you. I don't often recommend a rub because it is a matter of personnel taste. These recipe would also work well on most other pellet grills or charcoal and gas grill using indirect heat for the low temperature recipes.
