Just put a beer can chicken on the grill. Seasoned with Bearded Butcher Cajun. I added a shallot, spices and herbs to the beer.

Iā€™ll throw some squash, tomatoes and peppers on the grill when itā€™s close to done.

I usually cook around 225 for about 45 mins and then crank to 375 to finish. When I turn up the heat I will start basting with butter to help crisp the skin.

Hit a stall about 7 hours in. Had trouble pushing through. It's cold today here in College Station. Plus it was a fairly thick butt too. Finally got back on track. Getting ready to pull it here in a little bit. Want to hold it at 200 for a little longer.
Definitely different than my offset. I think I'm gonna like it but it is definitely a learning curve. Glad I started with a butt instead of a brisket.

First cook is in the book. Overall I am pretty happy with it. Took a little longer than I expected and I'm not used to a stall lasting that long. I may be wrong but I'm chalking it up to the smaller size of the pit. I have been using a fairly large offset so that may have something to do with it.
I do wish the the butt had been a little better piece of meat. There was a lot of waste but it is what it is. Finally got it to around 200 and held it there about an hour or so. Fell apart and the bone just slid out like you want it to.
Here it is in all its glory.

Just put on a slab of belly for some home made bacon. If you havenā€™t made bacon yet I strongly encourage you to do so. Itā€™s so easy and way better than what you buy in the store!

I always cut off a few pounds before I cure it to make burnt ends, another Traeger favorite of mine!

This is a great use of the Fire Board short probe(s)!

Around 145 - 150 so coming off the grill to cool down and then Iā€™ll slice and seal. I have an electric slicer but itā€™s kinda small and a pain to clean so I usually just use my slicing knife and cut it the old fashioned way!
