Rub spice mixture on the meat the night before smoking. Place meat in Ziploc freezer bag and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove the meat 1 hour before going into smoker and let it come to room temperature.

Here is when Danny Gaulden takes out his pork shoulders:

For a tender, easy to slice roast- out of pit at 180F internal For a tender, easy to slice, pullable roast- out of pit at 185F For a tender, easy to pull roast- out of pit at 190F

Remove roast from smoker and let stand for 15 minutes. Slice or pull off meat in strips and separate from fat.

For pulled-pork sandwiches, chop the meat. Spoon some of the sauce onto a fresh split bun/roll. Heap on meat and spoon on more sauce over meat.

Serve with coleslaw on the sandwich or on the side.
