Ingredients

  • 1 Bone-In Pork Shoulder 6-8 lbs preferred
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil / Olive Oil / Mustard for binding rub to meat
  • 4 tbsp Nick's Pork Rub

Instructions

  • Using your hands, apply the binding agent to the exterior of the pork shoulder
  • Generously apply the rub

  • Smoke Pork Shoulder at 225 degrees, after about 6-8 hours the internal temp should hit 160.
  • When the internal temp hits 160 wrap the pork shoulder with butcher paper, and continue smoking. Check the internal temperature every hour, and when the internal temp hits 200+, pull it from the smoker.
  • Wrap the pork shoulder with foil, and put in a cooler to rest. I like to let my pork shoulders rest for a minimum of two hours, up to five.
  • Shred and eat! Serve on a bun with coleslaw, barbecue sauce, hot peppers, and... if you really want to get crazy, cheese sauce!
