Tried a super simple pork butt today

[Roundy]

Seems like I’m always on the hunt for the perfect recipe. Sometimes simple is best. Not the best weather today for my little Traeger, 30F with 15mph breeze. I was able to shield it a bit so the cook worked but not ideal. Took 2 boneless butts, rinsed off then salted and let sit overnight, no other seasonings. Put on at 225F for about 4 hours with Traeger hickory pellets, until they reached about 156F. Wrapped each in foil then set on tray in regular oven at 225F for about 3 hours until they reached 205F. Turned off oven and let them sit hands off for 3 hours to mellow and let the magic happen.

Pulled one and served it up like a hot roast beef sandwich with mashed taters and gravy. The smoke flavor pulled through and made a world class meal. Seasoned at table with salt and fresh ground pepper. It was nice to enhance the pork flavor instead of trying to change it. 10/10 will do again .
