Traeger Pulled Pork
This Traeger Pulled Pork takes a while to get on the table, but the long cook is mostly hands-off and totally worth it. This one needs to be started the day BEFORE you want to eat!

Ingredients
- 6 pound bone-in pork shoulder roast
- copious amounts of BBQ Rub
- 3 cups dry hard apple cider
- 1 - 8 ounce bottle barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Fire up your pellet grill according to manufacturer instructions. Place the grill on "smoke", or turn to 220° if your grill doesn't have a "smoke" mode.
- Liberally rub the bbq rub into the outside of the shoulder on all sides. Place the shoulder on the grill grates and smoke for 10-12 hours. Make sure to stir your pellets every hour or so to make sure they don't tunnel.
- Remove the pork shoulder to a slow cooker, foil pan, or Instant Pot. Pour in a bottle or can of hard cider and then pour your favorite barbecue sauce over the top too. Don't be shy!
- Slow cook overnight. In the morning, pull the bones out of the roast and shred, removing any unappetizing bits as you shred things.
- Add in some more Everything Rub and serve with buns.
