Instructions

Pork Brine

  2. add in the pork shoulder and allow to sit in the refrigerator, covered, for 12 to 24 hours

Pork Roast

  1. preheat oven to 300 degrees F
  2. remove the pork roast from the brine solution and pat dry
  3. rub a liberal amount of the BBQ dry rub all over the shoulder. Be sure that you are covering all sides and edges and massage the rub in.
  4. set in a roasting pan and cover with foil
  5. place in the oven and roast for 4 hours then remove the foil and continue to roast for another 2 hours, or until the pork roast reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees.
  6. remove from the oven and cover with a foil tent.
  7. allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes
  8. remove foil and shred meat using 2 forks

My favorite way to eat it

  1. I mix some of the shredded meat with my Honey Barbecue Sauce and place it on a bun. Then I top it with my Summer Coleslaw and put the top bun on. Then I take a huge bite and say Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :)
