Smoked Pork Shoulder Recipe - GreatChefRecipes.com — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:19:08 +0000

[…] We have tried quite a few different techniques and I have come to enjoy this simplistic Smoked Pork Shoulder recipe. I call it simplistic because we don’t use fancy rubs and we let the meat cook slow and low…. the proper way to smoke pork! Your pork shoulder should take around 2-hours/ lb. to cook. Ingredients: Pork Shoulder or pork butt Kosher salt Freshly ground coarse black pepper Onion powder Garlic powder 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. Coat the pork with equal parts salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder and set aside. 3. Heat the smoker to 225F. 4. Soak your wood chips. (We like to use hickory.) 5. Smoke your pork to an internal temperature of 195-201F. (I usually hit 200F.) 6. Once done, loosely tent the meat in foil and let it rest for at least 1-hour. 7. Shred and serve!
