Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks. This helps the meat cook evenly and absorb the flavors.
- 2
Season the Pork
Rub the pork chunks with Hawaiian sea salt and black pepper. Make sure to coat the meat evenly. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Marinade
- 3
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and pineapple juice. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- 4
Marinate the Pork
Place the seasoned pork in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.
Smoking
- 5
Prepare the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add wood chips (preferably hickory or applewood) for flavor.
- 6
Smoke the Pork
Remove the pork from the marinade and let it drain slightly. Place the pork chunks in the smoker and drizzle with liquid smoke. Smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
