Sundays are made for the smoker. There’s no rush, no schedule to keep—just time to let something cook low and slow while you relax. I love starting a brisket or pork shoulder early in the morning, then spending the day doing whatever needs doing while the Traeger does its work.
This collection features recipes perfect for Sunday smoking sessions: pulled pork, brisket, and other classics that benefit from a long, unhurried cook.
They’re ideal for meal prepping for the week ahead or for gathering the family around the table for a proper Sunday dinner. Fire up your Traeger and make the most of your day off.
