Looks good. Will give it a try.

I don’t have a Traeger, but the recipe does look worthy. I’ve stored it.

John this looks like it could be a big hit at the next campsite.

It was super, even if the Traeger died after about 4 hours of smoking. The Traeger folks said it
sounded like an 'air pocket' formed when one of the pellets blocked the flow. This has happened more
than once. I'm not nearly as keen on Traegers as I once was.

But, the pulled pork was spectacular. Once I wrap it in tinfoil, it goes in the oven. Can't see
using pellets for that part of the operation.


You can get a cheap remote thermometer to alert you if the temp drops
below a number you choose.


Hell, I was at Home Depot and couldn't have done much anyway. With the Traeger controller, the
remedy is to unload everything from the grill, clean out the fire box, and go through the restart
process, all of which is another 10-15 minutes. Then the meat has to reheat.

It was easier just to wrap it and throw it in the oven. Traeger is sending another controller. We'll
see how that works.
