Ingredients: main 1 (6-9 Lb) Bone-In Pork Shoulder
Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
2 Cup Apple Cider
Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce
Steps
1. When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 250℉ and
preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
2. While the Traeger comes to temperature, trim excess fat off pork
butt.
3. Generously season with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub on all sides
and let sit for 20 minutes.
4. Place the pork butt fat side up directly on the grill grate and cook
until the internal temperature reaches 160℉, about 3 to 5 hours.
5. Remove the pork butt from the grill.
6. On a large baking sheet, stack 4 large pieces of aluminum foil
on top of each other, ensuring they are wide enough to wrap the
pork butt entirely on all sides. If not, overlap the foil pieces to
create a wider base. Place the pork butt in the center on the foil,
then bring up the sides of the foil a little bit before pouring the
apple cider on top of the pork butt. Wrap the foil tightly around
the pork, ensuring the cider does not escape.
7. Place the foil-wrapped pork butt back on the grill fat side up and
cook until the internal temperature reaches 204℉, in the thickest
part of the meat, about 3 to 4 hours longer depending on the
size of the pork butt.
8. Remove from the grill. Allow the pork to rest for 45 minutes in
the foil packet.
9. Remove the pork from the foil and pour off any excess liquid into
a fat separator.
10. Place the pork in a large dish and shred the meat, removing and
discarding the bone and any excess fat. Add separated liquid
back into pork and season to taste with additional Traeger Big
Game Rub. Optionally, add Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce or your
favorite BBQ sauce to taste.
11. Serve alone, in your favorite recipes, or on sandwiches.
Refrigerate leftover pork in a covered container for up to 4 days.
