Smoked Pork Butt Traeger Pulled Pork



The rich, smoky flavor of Traeger Pulled Pork comes from a pork butt that has been smoked just right. A savory rub, a mustard slather, and slow smoking on your Traeger grill make pulled pork that is tender and full of flavor. It's great for tacos, sandwiches, or any dish that calls for pulled pork.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole bone-in pork butt approximately 8-10 pounds
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub or your favorite barbecue rub
  • Wood pellets hickory or applewood recommended

Instructions:

To add more flavor, heat your Traeger smoker to 225F 107C using hickory or applewood pellets

To make a sauce for the pork butt, mix yellow mustard and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl

Spread the mustard slather all over the pork butt and place it on a clean surface

Spread the Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub or your favorite rub out on top of the pork and pat it down so it sticks better

When the smoker is ready, put the pork butt right on the grates with the fat side facing up

The pork should be smoked for about 1

5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 200F 93C and the meat is soft enough to shred

Take the pork butt off the Traeger and set it aside for 30 minutes to cool down

Using two forks, shred the pulled pork, getting rid of any bones or extra fat

You can put the Traeger Pulled Pork on buns, tacos, or any other way you like

Eat your Traeger-smoked pulled pork and enjoy the smokey, tasty goodness!
