This helps to keep it moist and so it will not dry out. Which is 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar and 5 parts water. Usually I try and check up on the pork shoulder every hour or so and at that time I will spritz it with my Apple Cider Vinegar and water mixture. It creates smoke when it fills the burn pot with new pellets and I have found this is enough smoke flavor for my tastes. Now you can set the Pit Boss to the Smoke setting which is 150 degrees but I just set it to 250 degrees and have found that it takes about an hour per pound. This helps regulate the temperature and humidity inside of the smoker. Always try and keep this at least three quarters full. Make sure you you add water to your water pan in the smoker. Place it in the smoker and insert the meat thermometer into the middle of the shoulder and away from the bone. Once you have applied the rub to the pork shoulder it is time to put it in the smoker. Once it is dried off begin sprinkling the rub onto the shoulder and rubbing it into all parts of the pork shoulder. Then dry off the pork shoulder with some paper towels to remove any of the juice on it. Next you are going to need to get the pork shoulder out of the packaging. Thus less time needed to bring it up to temperature in the smoker. This gives it time to get up to room temperature. One tip that I have found helps with my smoke times is to take out the pork shoulder out of the fridge an hour before it is time to do anything to it.

I loaded up the smoker with more than enough pellets to do at least a 10 hour smoke. These pellets are great for smoking just about anything. In the smoker I used Pit Boss Competition Blend Pellets. And of course you need a pork shoulder or Boston Butt. For this recipe I used the Pit Boss Sweet Heat Rub. You just need your favorite spice rub or you can make your own. The ingredients for this recipe are pretty straight forward. It was as close to set it and forget it as you can get. The Pit Boss Smoker made the whole process super easy to do as well. Hands down the best pulled pork I have ever made at home. If you are looking for extremely flavorful, tender, and easy to make pulled pork recipe then you have to try making it in a Pellet Smoker.
