    Memorial Day Pork Butts

    I was wondering if possible also, but this smoker has a solid pan that allows the grease drippings to run out of the unit without getting near the fire. Nothing appeared burned on the grease. Contacted the company and was told was probably the pellets we used. They were Traeger brand pellets...

    Pair of Pork butts smoked while enjoying Easter

    Thanks guys. I know pork butts/pulled pork is pretty common, but I like it when it comes out moist and flavorful and don't feel like I wasn't up to par on the smoking.

    Pair of Pork butts smoked while enjoying Easter

    My wife and I were fortunate to share Easter with my folks at their house, along with some relatives.

    B, B and P ( Brats, Breakfast sausage and Polish Sausage)
