Ingredients
- 8-10 pounds Pork Shoulder Butt
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 2 Teaspoons Paprika
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper optional
- 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
- 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a bowl, stir together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar and cayenne pepper.
- Trim the pork by removing a portion of the excess fat but leave approximately 1/4 inch of fat on the fat cap side of the pork shoulder. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels.
- Rub the mustard on all sides of the pork.
- Then evenly sprinkle the rub mixture onto the pork and press the rub into the mustard on the pork shoulder.
- Place the pork in the center of the smoker on the grates.
- Place the apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle.
- Close the smoker and smoke the pork for 2 hours without opening the smoker. Then begin spraying the pork shoulder with the apple cider vinegar light every hour after the 2 hour mark.
- Smoke and spritz the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The cook time will vary based on your size of your pork and how well your smoker can maintain the temperature in the smoker. Plan on it taking approximately 1 1/2-2 hours per pound of pork.
- Then wrap the pork completely with foil. Place back into the smoker and smoke until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the pork from the smoker. Let it rest, wrapped in the foil, for 1-2 hours.
- Unwrap the pork, shred the pork and then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
