pork butt

I recently bought a RT1250 and made my first pork butt last weekend. I have done many, many cooks on a traeger prior to getting the recteq and pork butt always seemed like the easiest cook possible. This one came out a bit tough and a bit dry. I noticed during the uncovered part of the cook that...

I started an overnight, no wrap, pork butt last night at midnight. It stalled around 10am. I increased from temp from super low 180 to 225, but then I had a flame out. Last night I added Knotty Wood pellets on top of my Bear Mountain and I believe the long pellets of Knotty Wood caused my auger...

Shown in video is a 10lber. I put it on at 9:30pm est and probes showing 195 at the time of this post which is 11:53. I did this as a no look cook, this video is first time I'm opening the smoker, now 14.5 hours in. I don't need it finished until 3:30 for Easter dinner so I don't have a need...

I have a Hawaiian party coming up and I'm looking to smoke a butt or shoulder Hawaiian style. I couldn't find any recipes in the thread so figured I'd start my own. Any ideas or recommendations is much appreciated

Hi from south Louisiana. Was wondering how many butts you can smoke on a rt700. I have 9 to cook was wondering if I need to do 2 cooks. I do have the second shelf. I can raise it up by adding something to the bottom of the folding legs to give me the extra height. Any pointers I just got my bull...
