Yields 8 – 10 servings
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Bolner’s Fiesta Brand Pork Rub
8-10 lb. bone-in pork shoulder
1/4 cup yellow or honey mustard
Kaiser rolls
Your favorite BBQ sauce.
Garnishes (e.g., coleslaw, pickles, onions)
Directions:
- Pat pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Score fat cap with sharp kitchen knife in a cross-hatch pattern, 1/4” deep
- Rub a thin coat of mustard over all sides of the pork shoulder. Season generously on all sides with Fiesta Pork Rub.
Pro Tip – apply mustard & rub and wrap tightly with plastic wrap, then place in the fridge overnight for maximum flavor - Heat your smoker or pellet grill to 250F and put the pork shoulder on the grate with the fat cap up
- Smoke for 60-90 minutes per pound until the pork shoulder reaches 200F internal temperature.
Pro Tip – the pork may “stall” at 160F for up to 4 hours; if desired, wrap tightly in aluminum foil at this point to speed up cooking time - Let pork rest for at least an hour in an aluminum pan. Shred pork using two forks and sprinkle the freshly shredded pork with Fiesta Pork Rub as a finishing touch
- Stack pulled pork on a Kaiser roll & top with your favorite BBQ sauce and garnishes! (Note – pulled pork reheats very well…if you have leftovers!)
