Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat, leaving a thin layer.

  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture generously all over the pork shoulder. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate.

  3. Prepare the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the water pan with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  4. Add wood chips to the smoker. Place the seasoned pork shoulder on the grate, fat side up, and close the lid.

  5. Smoke the pork shoulder until the internal temperature reaches 195-200°F (90-93°C), approximately 6 to 8 hours.

  6. Remove the pork shoulder from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  7. Shred the pork using two forks or meat claws and serve.
