CROCK-POT BOSTON BUTT SHOULDER FOR PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Rinse roast and remove as much fat from the outside as is practical.
• Dry the roast and slather with mustard.
• Add enough rub to cover the roast evenly (don't be stingy).
• Using hands, rub the spices and mustard into the roast on all sides.
• Place 1 1/2 inch balls of aluminum foil in a 4 or 5 quart crock pot to raise the roast above liquids that will collect in the pot.
• Place the roast into the crock pot and set on low.
• Cook the roast until it is 190 to 200F internal temperature.
• During the cook, the liquids collected may be removed and chilled for defatting.
• Depending on how "hot" your crock pot cooks, this may take 8 to 12 hours on low or 5 to 8 hours on high. I recommend using temperature rather than time.
• Another indication of doneness is to try to remove the blade bone by hand. If it can be easily removed, it is done.
• Rest the roast until it can pulled apart by hand or with forks. Remove fat as you pull the pork.
• Wet the roast with a portion of the defatted juices and mix.
• Serve with your favorite sauce, applied on the side or on top for sandwiches.

• Combine pickle juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Preheat 5 pounds charcoal in a smoker according to manufacturer's instructions until white and flaming. Distribute 7 to 8 large wood chunks over the coals. Place a drip pan on top; pour in beer and enough water to fill the pan most of the way. Close smoker; bring liquid in the drip pan to a boil. Place roast on top and close smoker.
• Smoke roast, turning every hour, until browned, about 2 hours. Baste roast with pickle juice and olive mixture. Continue smoking, turning and basting every hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 2 to 3 hours more.
• Remove roast from smoker and wrap with aluminum foil. Let rest, about 30 minutes.
• Uncover roast and cut into chunks. Shred chunks into small strands; transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze strands with both hands repeatedly, mixing after each squeeze.
