Ingredients:
To prepare this delicious BBQ pulled pork, you will need the following ingredients:
- 5-6 pound pork shoulder
- 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
Step 1: Prepare the Pit Boss Smoker and Grill
Before you start cooking, make sure your Pit Boss Smoker and Grill is clean and ready for action. If you don’t have one yet, you can find a range of smokers and grills on the BBQ Pit Boys’ website. They offer high-quality equipment that will elevate your BBQ game.
Step 2: Season the Pork Shoulder
Now, let’s move on to seasoning the pork shoulder. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. This blend of seasonings will give your pork a rich and smoky flavor. Rub the mixture generously all over the pork shoulder, making sure to cover every inch.
Step 3: Fire up the Grill
Next, it’s time to fire up your Pit Boss Smoker and Grill. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to get it started. Once the grill reaches a temperature of around 225°F, you’re ready to start smoking.
Step 4: Smoke the Pork Shoulder
Place the seasoned pork shoulder directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Let it smoke for approximately 1.5 hours per pound at a steady temperature of 225°F. This slow and low cooking method will ensure that the meat becomes tender and juicy.
Step 5: Mop the Pork Shoulder
While the pork is smoking, you can prepare a mop sauce to add extra flavor and moisture. The BBQ Pit Boys recommend using their Super Soaker for this step. It’s a handy tool that allows you to spritz your meat with a tasty mixture of apple cider vinegar and your favorite BBQ sauce.
Every hour or so, open the grill and give the pork shoulder a generous spray with the mop sauce. This will keep the meat moist and help create a beautiful crust on the outside.
Step 6: Wrap and Cook
After the pork shoulder has been smoking for several hours and has developed a nice color, it’s time to wrap it in aluminum foil to finish the cooking process. This technique, known as the Texas Crutch, helps to retain moisture and speeds up the cooking time.
Wrap the pork tightly in multiple layers of foil and place it back on the grill. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 195°F. This can take an additional 1-2 hours. Be patient – the wait will be worth it!
Step 7: Rest and Pull
Once the pork shoulder reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. After the resting period, it’s time to pull the pork.
Using a pair of tongs or forks, shred the meat apart into bite-sized pieces. The pork should be tender and easy to pull apart. Once you’ve shredded all the meat, it’s time to add the finishing touch – your favorite BBQ sauce.
Step 8: Add BBQ Sauce
In a large bowl, mix together your favorite BBQ sauce and brown sugar. The brown sugar will add a touch of sweetness to balance out the smoky flavors. Pour the sauce over the pulled pork and mix until every piece is coated.
Serve the BBQ pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw or enjoy it on its own. This mouthwatering dish is perfect for backyard parties, family gatherings, or any occasion that calls for some delicious BBQ.
