Pulled Pork

4 lbs Pork shoulder (Boston butt)

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs Smoked paprika

2 tbs Brown sugar

1 tbs Watkins garlic powder

1 tbs Onion powder

1 tsp Cayenne pepper

1 tbs Celtic sea salt

1 tbs black pepper

1 cup Apple cider vinegar

1 cup BBQ sauce

Method

Pulled Pork

Prepare the Pork

Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and rub it with olive oil.

Make the Dry Rub

In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Season the Pork

Rub the dry mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure to cover it evenly.

Smoke the Pork

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the smoker and smoke for about 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) for perfect tenderness.

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.

Pull the Pork

Once the pork is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Combine with Sauce

Mix the pulled pork with the prepared BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar mixture until well coated.

Serve

Serve the pulled pork on a plate, optionally with coleslaw and pickles on the side.
