If you have a Weston Indoor Electric Smoker, try this recipe ASAP!This recipe is property of GreatChefRecipes.comIngredients:1 tablespoon packed brown sugar1 tablespoon kosher salt1 teaspoon chili powder1 teaspoon ground paprika1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon onion powder1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper1 (4-5 pound) bone-in pork shoulderHickory wood chips (dried)Directions:1. You want to keep the fat cap on the pork butt/ shoulder, but if it’s excessive, trim it down a bit.2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper. 3. Rub pork on all sides with the dry rub seasoning mixture.4. Load your wood chips into the smoke chamber and cover with the smoke chamber lid. (If you cover the smoke chamber lid with aluminum foil, it will help with your cleanup later.)5. Use the rack with the handles, and lower the pork into the smoker fat cap up.6. Set Smoker Slow Cooker to SMOKE on COMBO for 6 hours. (The smoker will leak some smoke, so we used it outside to prevent our kitchen from smelling like a smokehouse.)7. Once done, remove to a cutting board and shred!Wine Pairings:We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste.
