Overnight pork shoulders
Doing 8 butts to make pulled pork sandwiches to sell at concessions for our track meet today. Decided to cook overnight to make sure I had plenty of time if the cook went longer than anticipated. Not the best conditions - it’s currently 28 degrees and 20 mph winds, but the cook is going well... -

Never done a tri tip before and been wanting to for a while. Finally got one and did it today. I smoked it at about 275 until 125. Then rested and seared. Served with a chimichurri sauce and glazed carrots. Man was it good! Included a pic of my set up today. Football and smoke. Perfect... -

Hi from NW Iowa. Relatively new to smoking here. I’ve had a Traeger for a couple years, then took the plunge this summer and built my own. Pic attached. Still working on the art of maintaining a fire - but so far pretty good. Looking forward to getting lots of different ideas from everyone...
