Best Smoked Pulled Pork
fromchilipeppermadness.comwww.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/smoked-pulled-pork
The juiciest smoked pulled pork uses a two-step method: smoke the pork shoulder first to build deep smoke flavor, then finish it in the slow cooker with a braising liquid for fall-apart tenderness every time.
Ingredients
Instructions
Rub the pork shoulder down with olive oil and half of your preferred seasoning blend.
Smoke the pork shoulder at 225 degrees F. for 4 hours, adding wood chips into your smoker at regular enough intervals to give it a nice smoke. The wood used is your choice.
Be sure to keep some moisture in your smoker pan. Beer is good, as is apple cider vinegar, but even water will work.
After 4 hours, transfer the pork shoulder to a large pot or slow cooker. Add 1 bottle of flavorful beer (I typically use a wheat beer or an IPA that I enjoy drinking) or chicken stock, along with the extra seasonings.
Slow cook the pork shoulder on low, covered, another 4 hours, or until the pork pulls apart easily with forks.
