Hello. THANK YOU!!! I am a bit of a traditionalist. What folks are making is NOT pulled pork. Pulled pork originated in the Carolinas and most recipes have a vinegar based sauce which I don't care for. What folks are doing is smoking a shoulder, tearing it up and then smothering it in BBQ sauce. I am also not a big rub or sauce fan but to each his own. I just can't bring myself to go through all that trouble smoking a pork shoulder and then tearing it up for a SANDWICH! I'd rather just make a burger if I want a sandwich. I always slice my shoulders. Use a pan to collect the drippings for A Jus or thicken and make a gravy. Use your normal cooking method for "pulled pork" and take it to an IT of 190-195. Rest it, slice and enjoy with some potatoes ( mashed or boiled, for boiled I'd use red potatoes ) and a good cole slaw. Maybe some fresh green beans? Just my opinion. Keep Smokin!
