On Father's Day I did a pork butt on the Traeger to make pulled pork sandwiches. Sorry but I didn't take any pictures, but it was really easy and it was sofa king good!
I went online and watched Malcolm Reed on How To Barbecue Right to see how he does his pulled pork. He rubs mustard on it to act as a binder to hold the spices on and he generously applies his Killer Hogs BBQ Seasoning, that's it. Then it goes on the smoker for about 4 hours at 250. At 4 hours he pulled it off and sprayed apple juice (I used apple cider vinegar), then double wrapped it in foil with a temperature probe sticking out, I cooked mine for the remainder of time at 275. At about 202 degrees I pulled it off and let it set for about 45 minutes to an hour.
In the meantime I made some cole slaw from scratch from the How to BBQ Right website and threw that in the fridge. I found another video on doing a vinegar sauce, it's kinda spicy, but after a few days it gets spicier.
Now I go to the pork butt and open the foil, after sitting for about an hour it's still pretty hot. The shoulder bone pulls right out, I empty the juice into a grease separator and let it sit. I pulled the meat apart and shredded a little bit, but left it in chunks. Now I pour the degreased juice back in the meat and mix it up.
I got a pack of Kings Hawaiian rolls at Sam's Club, I cut them into sections of 4 and sliced them in half (to make a bun) and toasted those slightly and got out a jar of Claussen pickle chips on the side.
I put a large portion of meat on the roll, ladled some vinegar sauce over the meat, threw a generous serving tongful of cole slaw on the meat, put the top half of the rolls on top, cut it in half and dug in.
It was awesome and so easy. The pork butt took about 7 hours to cook, and for about $12 for a 9.5 lb chunk of meat you can't go wrong, it fed the 4 of us, my neighbor and we still have a shit load of meat left over too.
