BARBECUE SANDWICHES
SERVES 8 - PREPARATION TIME 0:20
Pulled pork is a Southern classic! The pork shoulder is
cooked long and slow, then shredded and served with a
tangy barbecue sauce. The pork shoulder is a less tender
cut of meat, which must be cooked on the smoker for
between 5 and 8 hours or 1.5hrs per pound.
1…………………. Large pork shoulder 6 lb. bone-in
with fat covering attached
1/2 cup………….. Lemon Chili Herb Rub
11/2 cups……….. Favorite barbecue sauce
8 large…………… Crusty rolls
2.cups…………… Apple or hickory wood chips
LEMON CHILI HERB RUB
1/4 cup………….. sugar
1/4 cup………….. kosher salt
3 tablespoons….. chili powder
1 teaspoon……… ground cumin
1 teaspoon……… dried oregano
1 teaspoon……… ground coriander
1 teaspoon……… dry mustard
1 tablespoon …… lemon zest, finely grated
PREPARE PORK:
Sprinkle the pork shoulder generously with rub and massage
in on all sides. Set aside for minimum 1 hour, or overnight in
the refrigerator to allow flavors to penetrate the meat.
PREPARE SMOKER:
Soak wood chips in water for a minimum of one hour, before
starting the smoker. Place an even layer of soaked chips in
the smoker box, and place the box on the supports. Fill
water bowl half way with desired flavoring liquid. If you are
using a juice or soda with high sugar content, mix with 50%
water to avoid caramelizing the sugars. Ensure that fluid
level is maintained throughout cooking.
Light a small fire, and close door.
SMOKE PORK:
When the smoker has reached 200°F-220°F (93°C-
105°C) place the pork, fat side up, on a rack in the center
of the cabinet.
The charcoal fire should be monitored closely to maintain
consistent heat throughout the whole cooking time
The pork will need to cook for approximately 1.5hrs per
pound. The pork should be checked for doneness with a
meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature of
165°F-175°F (74°C-79°C).
*To adjust the level of smoke flavor in the meat, vary the
amount of wood chips used throughout the cooking time.
Meat will be so tender that it can be shredded, or pulled
with a fork!
SERVE:
Let pork sit for 15 minutes, covered with foil. Shred or cut
the pork and mix with your favorite warmed sauce. Serve
it on crusty buns.
