Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the pork shoulder in a large bowl and rub it thoroughly with Hawaiian sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 2

    Add Liquid Smoke

    Drizzle the liquid smoke over the seasoned pork, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Wrap and Cook

    Wrap the seasoned pork tightly in aluminum foil and place it in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 hours until the pork is tender and shreds easily.

  4. 4

    Shred and Serve

    Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. Carefully unwrap the foil, shred the pork using two forks, and serve warm.
