Ingredients
- 6 pounds pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-5 tablespoons of your favorite seasoning blend
- salt to taste
- 12 ounces beer or chicken stock
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.
