Although pulled pork can be made from a few <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/cuts-of-pork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>cuts of pork<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the pinnacle is a bone-in pork butt. Pork butt is the upper shoulder and tends to break down more easily become much more tender and flavorsome. The lower shoulder works brilliantly too. Bone-in helps the meat stay moist and it adds a richer flavor, so it\u2019s always preferred, but not essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with lathering up the pork with a binding agent such as mustard or ketchup. This helps the rub to the meat and begins and adds an additional flavor profile. Generously coat your meat on all sides and in all nooks and crannies of the cut with your favorite sweet and spicy (optional) rub.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the smoker is up to 225\u00b0F place the pork in, fat side up. Now you\u2019re in for the long haul here, with a pork shoulder taking anywhere between 8-14 hours until its fall-apart tender and maximum deliciousness has been achieved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first half of the cook, 4-6 hours, do not open the smoker at all as keeping the temperature consistent is vital. This gives the pork time to develop a decent bark and for the smoke to fully impart over all of the meat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After roughly 5 hours, you can start spritzing the pork with apple juice, or diluted apple cider every hour until around the 8-hour mark and the shoulder is hitting around 160\u00b0F. If you are happy with the look of the bark you are ready to wrap!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the pork into an aluminum tray, poor 2 cups apple juice, and cover with foil making it airtight. After a further 4-5 hours being covered, and when your pork hits an internal temperature of 200\u00b0F in the middle, it\u2019s time to pull it off the smoker, and rest it in the juices for a further 1-2 hours (or longer) depending on your patience.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like to pull it apart in the same roasting tray with its juices, and add at least a cup of bbq sauce and mix it well. Delicious.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-50a539a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"50a539a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df03abd\" data-id=\"df03abd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4a36e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c4a36e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whole_Chicken\"><\/span>Whole Chicken<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ee35a6d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ee35a6d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf18621\" data-id=\"cf18621\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20a9920 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"20a9920\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-1024x718.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2592\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-1536x1077.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-2048x1436.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/grillsimply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smoking-Full-Chicken-e-scaled.jpg 1426w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b6e99a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b6e99a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e27bafa\" data-id=\"e27bafa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ce509e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ce509e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of the smoked chicken is something else.

You may not get it right the first time, honestly, it took me more than a couple of goes to really nail it.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to build a solid bark, start with an even layer of mustard as a binder followed by a strong dark rub &#8212; like BLACK from<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardcorecarnivore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> hardcore carnivore<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; which is readily available and most barbecue stores or online.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crank up the temperature to 275\u00b0F, as beef ribs have a higher fat content they can definitely take the heat and absorb more smokiness. For beef ribs, you really just want to smoke until you reach your desired temperature of 210\u00b0F, and it\u2019s probing like butter. Like seriously, you can keep them going longer and they will just become more tender so don\u2019t pull them off too hastily! Be sure to spritz every hour (but quickly &#8211; don\u2019t let the smoke and heat escape). You can spritz with water, vinegar and water mix, or even a bit of hot sauce and water for that extra layer of flavor that builds into the bark.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike pork ribs, it\u2019s essential to rest your beef ribs. Simply cover in butcher&#8217;s paper or aluminum foil, place in a cooler for 1-2 hours, or until you run out of patience. Cut between the bones so you get big chunks of meat and hoe down!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c779b62 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c779b62\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a779973\" data-id=\"a779973\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ac31dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8ac31dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Next_Smoke\"><\/span>Your Next Smoke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f15a428 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f15a428\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-080cde4\" data-id=\"080cde4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c1f4ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c1f4ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following the above, you will have learned, and had experience with almost all the processes of real traditional barbecue.
