Cook time: 10 h
Total time: 10 h
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 lbs Pork shoulder; 1 cup Brown sugar; 2 tbs Paprika; 1 tbs Salt; 1 tbs Black pepper; 1 tbs Garlic powder; 1 tbs Onion powder; 1 tsp Cayenne pepper; 1 cup Apple cider vinegar; 2 cups BBQ sauce; 4 count Brioche buns; 1 count Red onion; 1 jar Bread & butter pickles

Slow-smoked pulled pork topped with red onion and bread & butter pickles on a warm brioche, served with warm bbq sauce and choice of side.

In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Prepare the Pork

Place the pork shoulder in a smoker at 225°F (107°C) and smoke for about 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

Slow Smoke the Pork

Remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Once rested, shred the pork with two forks.

Rest and Shred

In a large bowl, mix the shredded pork with the warm BBQ sauce until well combined.

Mix with BBQ Sauce

Slice the brioche buns in half. Layer the pulled pork on the bottom half, then top with slices of red onion and bread & butter pickles. Place the top half of the bun on.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Serve the sandwiches warm, with additional BBQ sauce on the side and your choice of side dish.
