Made my 1st pork loin tonight. I was really surprised how juicy it was!!

 

[GrillMeister]

Well, I was busy and so was SWMBO, so the overnight marinade did not happen. Instead, a bit of EVOO, granulated garlic, and HCC Black did the job. Turned out awesome.

Turned out awesome. SWMBO approves! Easy Peasy marinade.

Was at Slim's favorite grocery store not in his area yesterday and came across this. I had to do a double take. I had never seen Tri-Tip at H-E-B before, let alone PRIME Tri-Tip. That was always a Costco deal. Well looky here. Holy Cow! Individually cryovac'd no less. SCORE!!!

 

[Slimpicker]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Damn you H-E-B !!!

GM, you better be nice to those Tri-Tips.... i wanna taste them from here when you're done!!!!

Tonight was a full a Traeger meal...

Rib Tickler Chick breast thins (I think that's a website??)
Stuffed shrooms, (I know that's a web site)
And potato Wedges seasoned

Any advice on wings tonight? Was going to smoke for about an hour at 225, then cranks the heat to 500 for the last 15 (ish) mins. Is that going help with crispy skin or is it going to be like eating a rubber glove?

How did they turn out?

Just put a 6lb pork butt on the traeger. Rubbed down with honey hog hot. My first time using meat church rubs.

How did they turn out?

I'm also curious. Been experimenting with a crispy skin for drumsticks, but have yet to perfect it. The best I've come up with so far is going heavy on my own rub (with some baking soda mixed in) and either quick-frying or searing them before smoking. So far, the results have not been ideal (plus, the Mrs complains that my wing rub is WAY too hot.) Interested to hear how your turned out.

Man, I gotta say. Honey hog hot from meat church is my favorite rub To date on pork butt. It’s got that good spicyness to cut the fat in The pork. The bark was spectacular. Forgot to take pics...

I'm a fan of the Honey Hog as well.

No pictures? Then it didn't happen

I’ve had really good results on my drumsticks.

I refrigerate the legs, hanging in a leg rack, at least 24 hours. This draws out a lot of the moisture and greatly increases the ultimate crispy skin-ness.

While Traeger is preheating, I brush each with EVOO (or spray PAM) and apply my favorite rub o’ the week (very pleased with TR->Big Game, Pork Barrel BBQ All*American Seasoning and Rub, and Killer Hogs AP) plus a dash of baking soda.

My Traeger pit temp of 275*F, dip each in an undiluted Vinegar-based BBQ Sauce at elapsed times of 1:15 and 1:45 and pull to rest @ IT of around 175*F, usually really close to 2.00 hours.
