Ingredients:

  • 4 oz of Billy Bones BBQ Rub or your favorite BBQ Rub with some sugar in it.

  5. Once the smoker is at 250 degrees, Place the Pork Shoulder FAT SIDE DOWN on the grates
  6. If using the lump charcoal, place the seasoning wood chips directly on the hot charcoal to create smoke. Shut the fire box and the cooking chamber and let the smoking begin!
