1
Prepare the Pork
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and BBQ rub. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Soak the Wood Chips
Soak the pecan wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before smoking.
3
Preheat the Smoker
Prepare your smoker for low and slow cooking at a temperature of 225°F (107°C).
4
Smoke the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the smoker. Add the soaked pecan wood chips to the smoker's wood box.
5
Maintain Temperature
Monitor the smoker's temperature and maintain it at 225°F (107°C) for approximately 14 hours, adding more wood chips as needed.
6
Check for Tenderness
After 14 hours, check the pork for tenderness. It should be easy to pull apart with a fork. If not tender, continue smoking until it reaches the desired texture.
7
Rest the Meat
Once tender, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding.
8
Serve
Shred the pork and toss it with apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce. Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
