  • Traeger/Pellet Grill
  • Smoker

Ingredients
  

  • 8 to 10 pound pork shoulder (also called pork butt)
  • 'Cue Glue (link to buy in post above) or yellow mustard
  • favorite BBQ seasoning/ BBQ dry rub
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • Spray bottle with 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Brush the 'Cue Glue or yellow mustard on all sides of the pork.
  • Sprinkle your favorite BBQ seasoning/ BBQ dry rub, kosher salt, and pepper on all sides.
  • Set your smoker or pellet grill to 225 degrees. Place the seasoned pork shoulder on the grill grate for 13 to 15 hours (about 1 1/2 hours per pound), spray with apple cider vinegar every hour.
  • Monitor the internal temperature and remove once it's at 195 degrees. Wrap the pork well in foil and wrap a towel around it. Place in an empty cooler until the internal temperature reaches 203 degrees (about an hour).
