Steps

  • Step 1

    When ready to cook, set temperature to 375℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Take crown roast of pork and if not already prepared, clean the bones of meat with a boning knife and make a small cut into the meat in between each rib so you can wrap it into a circle easily. Save the scraps if you want to make Pork Crown Roast Gravy.

    Ingredients
    • 10 Pound Pork Rib Roast

  • Step 3

    With the ribs on the outside, wrap the rack around onto itself so the ends meet and secure with kitchen twine so it holds its crown shape. If you are doing this by yourself, use a skewer to help hold its shape while you wrap the kitchen twine around the roast. Remove skewers.

  • Step 4

    Place in a roasting pan. Add the scraps into the bottom of the pan alongside the roast. This will help add flavor to your sauce. Set aside to bring the pork to room temperature prior to cooking.

  • Step 5

    In a small mixing bowl combine thyme, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add oil, about 1 cup, and combine. Rub the pork all over with the herb mixture.

    Ingredients
    • 1/2 Bunch thyme leaves

    • 1/2 Bunch sage leaves

    • 2 Clove garlic, crushed

    • To Taste salt and pepper

    • 1 Cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • Step 6

    Fill the cavity with Apple Pecan Stuffing (if desired).

  • Step 7

    Cover the stuffing and the tips of the rib bones with foil then place the whole roast on Traeger and cook for 2 hours and 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 150 degrees F when done.

    375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

    150 ˚F / 66 ˚C

  • Step 8

    About 30 to 45 minutes prior to doneness, remove the foil to brown the stuffing and create a crust. Remove from grill, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes before cutting.

  • Step 9

    Serve roast with apple pecan stuffing and pork crown roast gravy. Enjoy!
