In this video we take you through how to prepare beef ribs and a chuck roast and cook them on a Traeger Pellet Grill. We use Traeger’s cookbook, that comes with the grill, as a guide for the cook.
When prepping the chuck roast we simply used salt and pepper and olive oil. What you choose is entirely up to your own taste buds. For the ribs we chose a rib rub and finished them off with a BBQ sauce.
In this cook we used Oak pellets and went through only enough pellets to expose the safety guard inside the hopper.
We cooked the ribs for a total of 6 hours. 1 hour before the chuck roast went in, another 2 hours before foiling, 1 hour in the foil and then 30 mins to finish them off. Once we took them out of the foil we basted them with a thick, sticky BBQ sauce before putting them in for the last 30 mins.
The chuck roast was much simpler. Chuck is a cheaper alternative to brisket and if cooked for long enough can be moist and pull apart. We browned the roast for 30 mins on the highest heat to start off with. Then we lowered the temperature and cooked for 2 hours. After the 2 hours we foiled the roast, cooking for a further hour. If we wanted to get it to the stage it could simply pull apart we would need to cook it for 2-3 more hours.
