Pork

Serving

Method

Prepare the Pork

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mix all over the pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Pork

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

  3. 3

    Pull the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then, use two forks to pull the pork apart into shreds.

Make the BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Stir well.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Mix the Pork with Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the pulled pork with the prepared BBQ sauce until well coated.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the buns lightly on a grill or in a toaster.

  3. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    Place a generous portion of BBQ pulled pork on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with pickles and optional coleslaw.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
