    Pork Shoulder on a Traeger 075

    Ditto what Oneshot said. The Digital Temp Control is a Must Have. I picked mine up at traegeroutlet.com for about $129 this summer. Nice looking cook. Thanks Oneshot for the tip on the Smoke settings. I never could figure out why a number of the recipes in the Traeger cookbook called for a...

    First time smoking ribs w/Qview

    Congrats on the 6 months nicotine free. I purchased my Traeger as a reward for my 15 months of freedom from tobacco last August. I don't know much about "sweating" ribs, but your first attempt looks really good, especially compared to my first time on an ECB. I would recommend dialing in the...

    Everything was pretty darn good. Served up the pork with Tater Tots and green beans. The roast had a deep smoke, very moist/tender and great taste. I have a decent pic, just need to work on posting in. For now, the dishes are done and it's time to get the kids in bed.

    On the Cooker Today..

    Using a Maverick remote temp setup. At 140 I pulled the bacon off the roast and popped it into the fry pan. Yummy appetizers. I left the roast in until internal temp of 150. I finish the roast without the bacon just to get some of the greasiness (sp?) off of it. It's resting now. My better half...

    Turned it up to 250 degrees and wrapped in the bacon. Looking good and smelling great!

    is a boneless center cut pork loin that just hit the grill. It's a small one, 2.5 lbs, rubbed with Lone Wolf Pork rub this morning. Got the Traeger up to 225 degrees, switched to "smoke" and put the roast on. 45 minutes from now I'll be wrapping it in some low sodium applewood smoked bacon. More...

    Pork Loin problem

    Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I had considered topping it with bacon due to the lean nature of the meat, but unfortunately didn't have any on hand. I think the real culprit here was taking the temp too high as I've had good success in the past with loins and tenderloins. Next time outta the...

    Pork Loin problem

    I smoked a 2 lb pork loin today and it came out a little dry. I cooked it at about 235, hickory pellets on a Traeger, foiled at 140 and pulled at 164. I wrapped in towels and let it rest in a cooler for an hour. I didn't have a chance to spray with AJ every hour as I normally do. Also, after...

    Good flavor, but dry

    Thanks everyone. It really did say Pork Butt on the label and there were 2 side by side, one that said "bone in" at 2.49 a lb and the other "boneless" at 2.59 a lb. Yep, both temp probes of my Maverick thermometer have been checked. I've successfully done others of this size that came out...

    Good flavor, but dry

    My last pork butt had a real good flavor but was dry. It was bone it, about 3.66 lbs, rubbed it and wrapped it for about 12 hours before cooking. Cooked about 4.5 hours at 230 degrees, pulled off at 195 degrees, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil and then held in a cooler for 5 hours. I can't...

    Smokin' from the coast of WI

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. In the past couple of months I've done ribs, chicken thighs, boston butt, and pork loin. I have notes on most cooks written down so that I remember things I'd like to change. The Traeger wasn't cheap, but being the smallest unit I picked it up for $400 US, it...

    Smokin' from the coast of WI

    Hi everyone, Really got serious this year and upgraded from an ECB to a Traeger 055 Junior model. Thanks to my father in law for letting me practice with his. I don't claim to be a pellet zealot, but a number of reasons gave me confidence in purchasing one. 1) I was introduced to the art of Q...
