Traeger Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipe | Traeger Grills

Step 1

When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

Step 2

Generously season the pork shoulder on all sides with Traeger Pork & Poultry rub.

Step 3

Insert the probe into the center of the roast, avoiding the bone and any large pockets of fat. Place the roast directly on the grill grate, fat-side up. Close the lid and smoke for 3 hours. Add the apple juice to a spray bottle and spritz the roast after 1 hour and every hour thereafter.

Step 4

Transfer pork to a disposable aluminum foil pan. Increase the grill temperature to 250°F.

Step 5

When the grill is hot, place the pan with the pork on the grill grates, close the lid, and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 203°F, 6-8 hours more. If the pork is browning too much, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Pour the juices from the bottom of the pan into a gravy separator. Discard any fat that rises to the surface.

Step 7

With your hands (preferably protected from the heat with lined, heavy-duty rubber gloves), pull the pork into chunks, discarding the bone and any lumps of fat, including the cap. Pull each chunk into shreds and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 8

Season the pulled pork with additional rub and moisten with the reserved pan juices. Add your favorite Traeger BBQ sauce and mix well.

Step 9

Pile the pork mixture on the hamburger buns and serve with coleslaw. Enjoy!
