Steps

• Step 1

  Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 375°F; this will take about 15 minutes.

  375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

• Step 2

  Season the pork roast liberally with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub. Let sit at room temperature while the grill heats. Wrap each tip of the crown roast in a small piece of aluminum foil. This will protect the bones during the cook and prevent them from turning black.

  • 1 Whole pork crown roast

  • 1/4 Cup Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub

• Step 3

  Place the roast directly on the grill grate and cook for about 90 minutes spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes or so.
