Yep, I put it on top of cheap bread to soak up some of the grease. Keeps it from swimming in the grease.It looks awesome! Great job! Is it resting on some kind of bread or what?

I smoked it on the "smoke" setting on my Traeger for 1 hr, then 1.5 hours at 350 degrees. Used hickory and apple pellets. Had a slight smoke ring on the top of the loaf, with subtle hints of hickory, but not so much apple. Very juicy, not dry even on the ends, and was quite tasty.Everything is better smoked.
Looks great. How did it taste.

Here is the recipe that I used. Had all the stuff on hand, so seemed the best/easiest recipe at the time. Added jalapenos and sweet peppers, diced and changed up the sauce a bit. Turned out good.
