This is a video made by a man who just did this a lot and shared his wealth of useful information. Thanks amigo, wish the whole internet was full of people like you. Love from Holland

[@JohnSanders]

Thank you... and thanks for watching!!!

[@fredfrond6148]

I love your idea of letting the pork butt rest in the Dutch oven. No need to spend money and create garbage with aluminum trays and foil.👍

[@JWH-01]

I just bought a Traeger Scout a few days ago. I think it will be my main smoker/grill since most of the time I am only cooking for two. I still have the big offset smoker/grill when we have company need to cook larger quantities. I have seen a lot of channels commenting on the temperature fluctuations. As I posted elsewhere, the small grill will naturally have bigger temperature fluctuations due to the smaller volume of air. Also, the controller is always lagging (chasing) the temperature by the time it senses the temperature and adjust the pellet auger.

[@noctilucent7396]

I'm thinking the same thing, just using this at home frequently for 1 or 2

[@justpassingthrough4802]

Excellent video sir. I've watched others, but yours has convinced me to purchase a Traeger Ranger. Thanks for the tip about removing the fat cap. Also, it might be helpful in future vids to note pellet consumption. I'm curious how many lbs. you used to make this. Thank you

[@MalcolmReviews]

How do you like it so far ?

[@rickcormier9160]

That is impressive. I bought the Zgrills Cruiser for our weekend home. The Cruiser is a clone of the Traeger Ranger. I will definitely give this a try.

[@brentminick1]

Hi Rick, just got a cruiser myself.. haven’t fired it up yet. Are you loving it? Any luck finding a cover for it?

[@HeisenbergXx]

Good job, thank you. I'm really leaning towards buying one of these and this video helped a lot.

[@tpt213]

Beautiful piece of pork and amazing back yard. Mans dream

[@mikeee_e4606]

This video convinced me that I’m going to pull the trigger. 10lb pork butt sheeeeesh 🔥🔥🔥

[@bettypierce8050]

Looks scrumptious!!!

[@JohnSanders]

It really was... ate on it for 4 days...lol...thanks for watching!!!

[@geo2645]

You sold me on the Ranger. Thank you

[@capnrob97]

Nice! I just bought a different portable pellet smoker, got tired of messing with offset smokers and babysitting them. I like the simplicity of the Davy Crockett one I bought.

[@hunterhoward8194]

What brand brother?

[@capnrob97]

@@hunterhoward8194 I have a Dave’y Crockett and the Traeger portable now

[@laytonminnix3200]

Good cook John and it looks like it turned out okay. Only thing I do different is I'll leave the fat cap on and cook it fat cap side up then wrap it when it goes into the stall or when it's at the desired look of the bark color I think it needs. Usually that's between 165 and 170. Also I will take mine up to at least 198 then probe it for tenderness and when it feels like butter I will pull it. My rest time is usually at least an hour to two hours before I shred it. Are we going to see a Brisket in the future?

[@JohnSanders]

That is a good method you have...thanks for sharing that and I do hope to do a brisket one day...thanks for watching!!!

[@johnutah293]

Looks amazing! Need to get a ranger.

[@Jetsetfastfood]

What a delicious meal!

[@LewPatton]

Looks great John.

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks Lew...and thanks for watching!!!

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

Always enjoy your vids……

[@simplyscripture5030]

That's what I'm talking about

[@JohnSanders]

It was excellent pulled pork!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@wymanwong2129]

Hi John - what size is the baking sheet you have the ranger on? Thanks!

[@chamisi]

I 've had my traeger since 2005 had many great briskets, steaks etc back then it was hard to find pellets for them much less the grill itself

[@JohnSanders]

It had been impressive so far....I think this will be really good for traveling etc...thanks for watching!!!

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

Take care of yourself x

[@biggjune2914]

Need u some "bear claws" Jelly. To pull that apart

[@JohnSanders]

I might give those a try sometime...thanks for watching!!!

[@ethansteiner]

Wow that looks delish!! I love doing meat in my air fryer, it's the best!

[@JohnSanders]

This actually works similar to an air Fryer and does a excellent smoke flavor which is the only thing not possible inside with my air fryers... and I love smoked foods!!! Thank you for watching!!!

[@ethansteiner]

@@JohnSanders That is so cool!

[@JohnSanders]

It really is... think I'm gonna like it...

[@whowasdat_]

Love the video!!

[@bobbicatton]

I was wondering if a pork butt would fit on that. Great video👍

[@JohnSanders]

I was too... glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!

[@watchhobbie6002]

My wife always ask me “what’s Jelly cooking today”

[@JohnSanders]

That is good to hear!!!thank y'all for watching!!!

[@jbuck162]

Thanks for the video. How hot does the underside get of this Smoker? Does it need to be on metal or tile?

[@dkat1108]

Nice video thanks. What was the variance in temps from what the setting was and what was the air temp inside at ?

[@thelordsaunders]

This video is terrible. Now I need to spend another $700 because there's no way I'm going to be able to live with myself if I now don't have this Traeger travel smoker (to go with my full sized Traeger), and Meater. At this point how can I NOT purchase this combo?! :) Looks delicious John and what a great product demo.

[@cookie1963]

Hi. I have been reading up on these pellet smokers. I see the grilling area is said to be 184 sq. in. Can you tell me the actuall size of the grilling area e.g. 10x18 or 12x 15?

[@sweetbaybdiva]

When are more cooks like salmon , prime rib or brisket on traeger ranger?

[@brianmartin7103]

only issue I have seen is temp control with this smoker?? How accurate does it hold temp?

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

John, hi from Liverpool, UK. I have a question about the utensil you used to grab the meat off the grill, what is that? Is it just a pizza peel? Any chance you could give me a link to your exact one? I’ve just bought myself a ranger btw, thanks for your videos!

[@4242brvrdbd]

That forest looks like it’s photoshopped lol

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

Where do you put all this stuff 😉 ?

[@JohnSanders]

Lol...I store some outside on the porch.. but it is getting crowded...thanks for watching!!!

[@CameraNut1000]

John, It's been six months are you still liking the ranger? I had to go to three stores to find one in St Louis. Finally at Bass Pro but bought some accessories at the neighborhood Ace Hardware. The first cook was some chicken wings that turned out insanely delicious. We should try cooking some frozen Onion Bubba burgers with it. Bet that would be good.

[@JohnSanders]

I haven't used it as much as I thought but it did well when I did and the burgers do sound good...

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

Would be nice in s Chinese stir.fry too

[@JohnSanders]

I agree...I might give that some thought!!! Thanks and thank you for watching!!!

[@javilionaire]

Can you show us how to cook a baked potato in the Ninja Food air fry oven XL?

[@JohnSanders]

I will give that some thought but if you follow temps, times and internal potato temp of about 200°Fahrenheit and watch the video I have linked below I think you will be happy with results... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2m3ioqKbMyVgbs

[@javilionaire]

@@JohnSanders I watched that video but it wasn’t the XL oven so I was worried it wouldn’t come out right :(

[@scirishrugger]

John, where ya been? It's been 2 months! Everything ok?

[@AllegedNormie]

Look at how hard he has to pull to rip it. I wouldnt pull up to your cook outs if my life depended on it.

[@themisplacedcountrygirl8923]

Hi John. I hope all is well with you. I don’t see you posting many videos anymore and worried something g may be wrong.

[@bowmank84]

I want to know what size baking sheet (or what appears to be a baking sheet) he’s got that sitting on. Mine would look great on the same one.!

[@xdarkmercx]

Looks like a half sheet of your still curious.

[@fruples]

I was wondering same thing. The grill seems to be 21”x20” from what I’m reading and I can’t find a pan that large online.

[@reddog907]

I like all the probes John , you have more that than the CIA and FBI combined 🐖😉

[@JohnSanders]

Lol..I started to use all four from the block but was afraid of overkill on probes ridicule...lol...thanks for watching

[@ricpitt1]

Please quit saying you lost connection with it either do a proper video with no mishaps imho

[@JohnSanders]

Sorry about that... it can be tricky sometimes though...

[@kontraxed]

I thought it looked interesting until I saw the price tag. Over $600. Just not worth it to me.

[@JohnSanders]

I got it for 399.99 at ace hardware...
