The Smoke Chops Pulled Pork BBQ recipe delivers tender, flavorful pulled pork with a smoky, tangy edge, perfect for BBQ lovers craving a classic Southern dish. Start with an 8-pound pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat, slathered with yellow mustard, and generously coated with Butt Rub seasoning. Smoked low and slow at 225°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 203°F, the pork is occasionally spritzed with a 5:1 mix of apple juice and apple cider vinegar to enhance moisture and flavor. After smoking, the meat is wrapped in foil, rested for at least an hour (optionally in a towel-lined cooler for longer holding), and shredded while hot, yielding juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork ready for sandwiches or platters.
