Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rub

   In a bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, red chile powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.

2. 2

   Season the Pork

   Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Smoke the Pork

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the pork shoulder in the smoker and cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C) and the meat is tender.

4. 4

   Shred the Pork

   Once cooked, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

5. 5

   Add Liquid

   In a large bowl, mix the shredded pork with apple cider vinegar and water to moisten the meat and add flavor.

6. 6

   Serve

   Spoon the pulled pork onto buns and serve with giardiniera on the side.
