Double header today, game Tuesday night, then off to Frisco, Texas for the Frisco Baseball Classic at Dr Pepper park. Another game next Tuesday then another home series the following weekend. Whew!!!!!!

Not associated with team per se. My wife and I are major donors to the AD and University.
we miss very few baseball or football games.
We’ve only missed 3 home baseball games and 0 home football games in the past 4 years. We also make around 60% of away games.
Here’s a shot of my seats at Bluebell Park in College Station.

First time with the Traeger. Y'all wish me luck. Doing a pork butt today.

10 lb bone in butt.

Made my standard rub. No measurements.
brown sugar
Kosher salt
course ground black pepper
onion powder
paprika
Just mix it together till it looks and tastes right. Left on overnight

I'll baste it with sauce throughout the cook. I used to spend time making and tweaking my sauce. Now I just use Sweet Baby Ray's original. I like the way it tastes and I can't really do any better. I do add about 25% water and put it in the pit along with the meat.

Got the pit set at 210 and it's holding that temp very well. Fluctuating maybe 3-5 degrees in either direction. In the pictures you'll notice several probes. Got two just to check pit temp and two in the butt itself. Need to get a feel for the pit and want to know how accurate the onboard temp actually is. So far it's on point. Using Traeger Gourmet Blend pellets because that's what my lovely wife bought with the pit when she bought it for my birthday. Hickory, maple, and cherry.

Seriously hope you have good luck with your Traeger. I have a couple friends that are not real happy with theirs. Keep the pics coming.
