BBQ favorite
Directions
- Wash shoulder and pat dry
- Apply favorite rub and wrap and put in refrigerator at least overnight (try one of these)
- Remove shoulder from refrigerator 30-60 min prior to cooking
- Smoke at 225F until internal temp reaches 160-165F
- Wrap in foil and cook until internal temp reaches 200F
- Remove from smoker and let rest for 30+ minutes
- Pull apart just prior to eating so it doesn’t dry out
Optional: After pulling, mix in some of the BBQ Sauce to help keep it moist and give some flavor.
