How To Smoke Pulled Pork BBQ - First, Don't make the same mistake of the only one star review of this recipe and use apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. Also, a big pork shoulder does take a long time to smoke to the pulled pork stage, so don't blame the recipe if your smoker cooks slower than average. ALWAYS use a thermometer to check how done your meat is. Whether from the Carolinas or over to Texas, pulled pork is a staple of Southern cooking. Typically saved for holidays, parties and picnics, I enjoy making this on any weekend and having leftovers during the week for stuffing sandwiches, potatoes, tacos, enchiladas or to top a salad!

Because it is slow cooked in a smoker, the flavor of the meat doesn't require any barbecue sauce.

However, we always leave it as an option to put on sandwiches or as a side for dipping.

How To Smoke Pulled Pork BBQ - Apple is mild and a natural pairing for pork (especially with an Apple Cider Brine). And Hickory just has a yummy taste, in our opinion. Smoked pulled pork is extremely easy to make with only a few steps required for getting the pork ready for the smoker. There is nothing that resembles a smoked pulled pork. The BBQ sauce in my opinion is the only thing that takes this to something other than a roasted pork dish. I will stick to the smoker should I desire pulled pork. Basically same ingredients & same amount of time. Thank you and good luck
