Killer Pulled Pork.
A Big 9/10, aroma, tenderness, and good Looking bark.
Pulled so good.

Butterflied the butt, seasoned with Traeger Pork and Poultry Rub
Smoked at 225*F with super smoke
Wrapped at 165/170*F internal with ~1/4 cup apple juice
Done at 205*F internal.
Rested for 3-4 hours
Pulled the pork, added a little more rub and just shy of ~1/4 cup BBQ sauce.

This is the way to smoke a pork butt. This is just my opinion.

Fried catfish with rice and hushpuppies.

A Brief History of Hush Puppies

One story behind the name “hush puppies” dates back to the time when cooks would fry up cornbread batter to feed their dogs, which would quiet them down, or “hush” them. Another theory suggests that the name came from the practice of feeding fried cornbread to puppies to keep them quiet while hunters were out in the woods.

So a few days ago I did a greek-style potatoes with chicken thighs cooked on top. I discovered that things cooked in chicken fat taste divine.

So I decided to do my own take on the dish. Basically root vegetables (I used carrots, russet potato wedges, and a random bag of pearl onions I had in the freezer) mixed with a minced head of garlic, copious olive oil, and whatever salt-free BBQ rub is your thing (I used Flat Iron Company's).

Mix all of that together, add in 2/3 cups of chicken stock (salted), and top with dry-brined chicken thighs, basted with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Into the pellet grill at 350 F for 90 minutes, rotating and re-basting halfway through. And here we are....

Plated up:

Things cooked in chicken fat are good.

Next time I will not mince the garlic, but keep the cloves whole....I think it will roast delightfully well with the pearl onions.

My lady bought me a Weber master touch as a gift since my pellet grilled died on me, snd this was the maiden voyage. The vortex came from Amazon today and I just did up some steaks but everything I've been reading from this forum and also videos on watching all came together like I was riding a bike. I wouldn't say this is gonna be easy because I'm still learning, however the pit barrel has prepared me for this.
