Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 pound bone-in pork shoulder roast
  • BBQ Rub
  • 3 cups dry hard apple cider
  • 8 ounces barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Fire up your pellet grill according to manufacturer instructions. Preheat to 220°F.
  • Liberally rub the BBQ rub into the outside of the shoulder on all sides. Place the shoulder on the grill grates and smoke for 10-12 hours. Make sure to stir your pellets every hour or so to make sure they don't tunnel.
  • Remove the pork shoulder to a slow cooker, foil pan, or Instant Pot. Pour in a bottle or can of hard cider and then pour your favorite barbecue sauce over the top too. Don't be shy!
  • Slow cook overnight. In the morning, pull the bones out of the roast and shred, removing any unappetizing bits as you shred things.
  • Add in some more BBQ rub and serve with buns.
