Smoked Pork Shoulder

The preparation for this pork roast is similar to the Smoked Pot Roast, but the resulting flavor is very different. This recipe uses a pork shoulder roast and makes a lot of smoked pork. This makes it great for a get-together or you can freeze some of the leftovers for quick meals later. We found that you can easily shred the pork for pulled pork sandwiches when it's hot, but that it slices easily after it's been refrigerated.

6 lb Pork Shoulder Roast
3/4 c Rub #1 Or Rub # 2
------ Sauce
2 c Cider Vinegar
3 T Black Pepper,Freshly Ground
1 T Worcestershire
1 T Paprika
1 t Cayenne

The night before you plan to barbecue, massage the rub into the roast, place in a plastic bag and refrigerate. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature while the grill or smoker heats. Bring the temperature of the grill or smoker to about 250 degrees F. Add wood chips as appropriate for your type of cooker. Place the roast in the cooker and cook over indirect heat for about 6 hours. Combine sauce ingredients and baste roast with the sauce about once an hour. At the end of the 6 hours. remove from cooker and place on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour the remaining sauce over the roast. Return to cooker and cook an additional 3 hours. Remove from cooker and allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
