Meat
Spice Rub
BBQ Sauce
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Meat
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and ribs. Pat dry with paper towels.
Make the Spice Rub
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Rub the Meat
Generously apply the spice rub all over the pork shoulder and ribs, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
Smoke the Meat
Place the pork shoulder and ribs on the grill. Smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C) for the shoulder and 190°F (88°C) for the ribs.
Prepare the BBQ Sauce
While the meat is smoking, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it starts to bubble, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
