Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours, 00 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless pork butt (about 5-6 pounds)
  • For Rub:
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice

In a small mixing bowl, combine all rub ingredients into a paste. Coat pork shoulder with rub, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-4 hours. Preheat smoker and prepare for an 8-10 hour smoke.

Make sure wood chips are soaked and drained before using. Add charcoal and wood chips as necessary to keep temperature low, or between 200 - 225°F. Smoke pork shoulder for about 8 hours or until internal temperatures reach 185°F.

Once pork is cooked remove from smoker. Wrap tightly in foil and allow to sit for an hour. Afterward unwrap pork butt and shred. Combine pork with 1/3 of your favorite table sauce. Keep warm and serve on white bread buns with remaining sauce on the side. Top with Cole Slaw.
