Welp, got one that just went on the traeger. I think it's about 13# or so. Wife picked up a 17 pounder a couple days ago, so last night i prepped it, seasoned it up, threw it in the oven (not on) to acclimate. Tied it up this morning and just threw it on the traeger about 30 minutes ago. I'm cooking it @180 and figure it will take about 6 hours or so. There will be a 1-2 hour set time for it in the cooler, and then when we go to the in-laws place, I will have my mother in law fire up the oven to broil it for a few minutes to get some nice crunchy goodness on the outside. I will post more pics when it is all done.

For the seasoning I first wiped the roast down to dry it a bit, then I coated it with E.V.O.O. with basil in it. After that I gave it a HEALTHY coating of Tatonka dust. I let it sit and acclimate in the oven for about 8 hours. When I put the probes in it for my thermometer it was reading 56 degrees, so it was still just a bit cool in the middle, but I'm not too worried about it. I've got the traeger rolling 180 and lots of Hickory Smoke!
