Decided to smoke a pork butt for the first time. Everything I read said go low and slow. Seemed like I should have taken 16 hours to cook it but I only had 12 hours to get it done though so I had to go a little faster than slow. Smoked it for 6 hours around 230, then moved it to the oven for the last 6 hours at 260. Turned out AWESOME.

When you put it in the oven did you wrap it?

I’ll do 4-6 hours on the smoker at 250-275

Pull it off then cook in a crockpot on high for 3-4 hours. I put in a little bit of apple juice and more seasoning in the crockpot. Some times I’ll use the oven. But lately I prefer finishing in the crockpot so I don’t have to run the oven for hours and hours.

How long I cook it depends on the size of course. But I can get a decent sized one done in 10 hours usually.
Yeah. I wrap the pan in foil and let it cook like that in the oven. Used a brown sugar base rub with hickory chips for smoking. I use a horizontal smoker with charcoal and add hickory chips and charcoal about every 30 min. Used to dump a bunch of charcoal every hour to hour and a half but the temp was just too difficult to maintain doing that so I add less charcoal more frequently.

I like to wrap my pork in Banana leaves, Yucatan style. I've also done burlap soaked in Bourbon.

No. I just added sauce on them before cutting them this time. They don’t need any sauce but I like to try different things. So I sauced them this time! They were great!

Totally up to you. My friend owns one and he is very happy with it. I do not own one and never will, or any other kind of pellet grill/smoker. That is just my preference

They are fine. Just sorta depends on your needs, experience, hobby, etc.

Are you a set it and forget it type, or do you like to tend to your cookouts and have a few beers? Are you looking for a smoker and grill in one. If so the Traegers are good. And you can set it and forget it when smoking.

I’ve got an offset stick burner which requires a lot of tending too. I’ve also got an electric smoker from Samsclub that only requires adding wood chips to it once or twice an hour.

I like tending and managing my cooks. I think that’s part of the fun. So I don’t really want the set and forget type smokers. I kinda enjoy experimenting and trying different settings and cook times, etc.

I have one. I know people have their own personal experiences and opinions, but my traeger has been really solid for me. No, I can not sear a steak on it. Everything else has been so easy it’s laughable. That’s coming from a guy who started out with a barrel smoker, then two different vertical propane smokers, then my traeger. I do not miss the 30 min Temp checks on super long cooks. Now, I just set my temp alarm or cook time alarm which is also connected to an app on my phone. Done! Comes out perfect every time!

I've got a pit dug in the ground, firebox on one side, smoke box on the other. I've got a pellet smoker and a grill, but when It comes to BBQ, nothing replaces the pit. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt, for temp checks and adjust the fire and coals, the finished product is just better. It's like mass production vs. hand built to me.
