Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 250℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    250 ˚F / 121 ˚C

  • 2

    While the grill preheats, trim any excess fat off the roast.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Rub all over the roast.

  • 4

    Insert the probe into the center of the roast, avoiding the bones and any large pockets of fat. Place the roast directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120℉, about 4 hours. Remove the roast from the grill and let rest for 20 minutes.

    250 ˚F / 121 ˚C

    120 ˚F / 49 ˚C
