Reverse Sear Ribeye and Lobster Tail
Grill Used: Traeger Silverton 620
Initial Temp Setting: 180 / 450
Ingredients:
24 Ounce ribeye steaks.
Meat Seasoning (Meat Church)
16 Ounce Lobster Tails
2 Teaspoons of butter, melted
2 Teaspoons of garlic powder
2 Teaspoons of onion powder
2 Teaspoons of chives, chopped
2 Teaspoons of parsley, mined
How to Prep the Ribeye
Simple - Liberally season Ribeye steaks on all sides with your favorite seasoning. I recommend a 2:1 combination of Meat Church Holy Cow and Holy Gospel. Let the seasoning adhere to the steak for 10 minutes.
How to Prep the Lobster Tails
Score down the middle of the lobster, cutting all the way through the top shell and the flesh but not through the bottom shell. Open the tails up and apply the butter mixture. Don't be shy, lather those tails!
Butter Mixture - Melt 2 tsp of butter and combine with 2 tsp of garlic powder and onion powder.
Steps:
Place Ribeye steaks on the smoker once the grill comes to temp at 180.
Place the steaks on the smoker for 30 minutes. After, take them off and crank the smoker up to 450 degrees.
While grill is preheating, prepare the lobster tails. (see above)
When the grill has heated to temp, place the steaks back on the grill, for 8 - 10 minutes for the perfect medium rare. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
As well, place the lobster tails on the grill for 8 - 10 minutes, until they are fully cooked.
Top the steak with remaining butter, chives, and parsley.

Classic Pulled Pork
Grill Used: Traeger Pro 780
Initial Temp Setting: 225
Smoke Time: 10+ hours
Ingredients for the Spritz
Equal parts apple cider vinegar and apple juice
How to Prep the Pork Shoulder
Rub yellow mustard, not a lot, all over the pork shoulder to act as a binder
Coat your pork shoulder with whatever BBQ rubs you like. We used a heavy amount of Meat Church Honey Hog and Honey Hog Hot
Place on a rack for easy transfer on and off the smoker
Steps:
Place the pork shoulder on the smoker once the grill comes to temp at 225.
After 3 hours, begin to spritz the pork shoulder with the ACV+AJ mixture every hour until the internal temperature hits 160. Make that butt glisten, but don't over soak it.
When the internal temp of the shoulder hits 160, pull it off the smoker and place in an aluminum pan and cover tightly with foil. Inset your thermometer and put back on the pit until it hits 200 internal. If you're being impatient, you can bump the smoker temp to 250 - no higher.
When the shoulder hits 200, take it off the smoker and let it sit for a minium of 30 minutes.
Put all of the juices from the pan in a fat separater, shred the meat and pour the juice (NOT THE FAT) back over the pulled smokey deliciousness you made.
