Hickory-smoked Pulled Pork Bbq Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder. Rub the yellow mustard all over the pork to act as a binder for the spices.

2. 2

   Make the Rub

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

3. 3

   Prepare the Smoker

   Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

4. 4

   Smoke the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in the smoker. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the smoker. Smoke for about 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

5. 5

   Rest and Pull

   Once done, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Add BBQ Sauce

   Mix the shredded pork with apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the pulled pork on buns with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
