Experience the ultimate in BBQ with these Wood-Fired Traeger BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor.
Equipment
- Traeger Grill
- Aluminum foil
- Meat thermometer
- Shredding forks
Ingredients
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
- 1/4 cup Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 12 sandwich buns
- Optional: Coleslaw Pickles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub and brown sugar, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the Grill: Set your Traeger grill to 225°F and allow it to preheat for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed.
- Smoke the Pork: Place the pork shoulder directly on the grill grates, fat side up. Smoke for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Wrap and Cook: Remove the pork from the grill and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Return it to the grill and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 204°F, about 3-4 more hours.
- Rest the Pork: Let the pork rest, still wrapped, for at least 30 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Shred and Serve: Unwrap the pork and shred it using two forks. Mix in apple cider vinegar, mustard, and chicken broth to enhance the flavor. Serve on sandwich buns with your choice of toppings.
Notes
• Resting the pork is crucial for tenderness.
• Experiment with wood pellets for different flavors.
• Pulled pork tastes better the next day.
