Slow smoked pork shoulder. For this recipe, we started with two 7.5 pound pork shoulders. We slow smoke the pork shoulder on a Pit Boss Vertical Pellet Smoker.

We dont trim the pork shoulder at all and use the fat cap as a protective barrier between the heat source and the pork.

To season this whole pork shoulder, I use three different rubs from Heath Riles. The rubs are his Garlic Jalepeno, Pecan, and Honey Rub.

We smoke these pork shoulders at 250-275 degrees. You want to plan on smoking the pork shoulder of this size for about an hour per pound. We smoke the pork shoulder with Pit Boss Charcoal Flavored Pellets until the pork shoulder hits an internal temperature of 160 degrees and then wrap it in foil and continue cooking it until it reaches 205 degrees.

Once the pork should reaches 205 degrees we remove it from the smoker and let it rest until it is cool enough to pull apart with your hands (approx 1 hour).

Add your favorite bbq sauce or eat it without sauce.

Enjoy.
