Ingredients
- 8 pound to 10 pounds of bone-in pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground sage
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
Mix together all the spices and rub thoroughly into the pork. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
-
Take the pork out of the refrigerator and unwrap. Let it rest at room temperature for half an hour to an hour.
-
Prepare your smoker to keep a steady 225 degrees F heat. This may require several additions of water soaked wood chunks to keep the smoke going.
-
Add the pork shoulder when the temperature of the smoker has reached about 225 degrees F, close the lid and adjust the vents so that the smoke flows freely throughout the smoker.
-
Cook until the meat is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 185F-195F, about 10-14 hours. Let the pork rest for 30 minutes before slicing, pulling, or chopping.
-
Serve with coleslaw and your favorite barbecue sauce.
