Smoked Pulled Pork BBQ
Ingredients
- 6-8 pound pork shoulder
- Fire & Flavor Georgia Q Rub
- Fire & Flavor Stall Point BBQ Wrap
- Fire & Flavor Apple Chunks
- Fire & Flavor Lump Charcoal
- Fire & Flavor Disposable BBQ Gloves
- BBQ Sauce (recipe below)
Instructions
- Prepare your smoker grill by making a two zone fire with lump charcoal, meaning charcoal on one side of the grill. If you have a Kamado grill, use your heat deflector plate. Once the lump charcoal is burning hot, add 3 Fire & Flavor smoking chunks. Pro tip: You don’t need a lot of charcoal as the chunks will be your fuel.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder. Pro tip: Rubbing mustard on the pork butt prior will make the rub stick better.
- Coat top grate with oil and place pork on the grill, fat side down over the side without the coals. Pro tip: If your grill allows for a drip pan, add that under this side of the grill grate. For additional moisture, you can add 50% apple cider, 50% apple cider vinegar then remainder as water to fill half the volume of your pan.
- Smoke the pork, with lid closed, maintaining temperature inside smoker between 225℉ - 250℉, for 3 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 200℉. At this point, wrap the pork in the Stall Point BBQ Wrap and cook 3 more hours or until meltingly tender.
- Remove the pork from the smoker, unwrap, and let rest for 15 minutes. Then, pull the bone and fat from the pork. Use a large cleaver or chef’s knife to chop the meat by hand. You may also use the Fire & Flavor Meat Claws at this step.
- Top bottom half of buns with 4 to 6 ounces of meat, and add a generous amount of sauce. Cover the bun tops. Serve immediately.
