Braised Pork Carnitas

We’ve done the impossible. We made carnitas even better by braising them in beer inside a Traeger grill. Start with a well-marbled boneless pork shoulder and break it down to two-inch chunks. Then toss the chunks into a Dutch oven and cover with beer and water and let it cook down for about 3 hours.
