Ingredients
  • 5 to 8 pound bone in pork shoulder/ pork butt
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 Tbsps brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground red pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle
Instructions

  1. The night before smoking or baking this pork, rub the pork with the yellow mustard. Combine chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and ground red pepper in a bowl and stir to combine. Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  2. Place the pork in a smoker (or oven in a baking dish if you don't have a smoker, but the smoker is highly recommended) set to 250 degrees for 5 to 8 hours (approx. 1 hour per pound and internal temp of 195 degrees). Spray with the apple cider vinegar a few times each hour. 

  3. Wrap the pork in foil, wrap a towel around it and place in a cooler for 1 hour to let it rest and steam.

  4. Shred the pork and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.
