Ingredients
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 T Kosher salt flakes
- 1 tsp chipotle powder
- 1 T garlic granules
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 pork shoulder (7 – 8 lbs.)
- 2 T Dijon mustard
- Mustard Based BBQ Sauce
Preparation
- Rinse pork shoulder with cold water. Trim loose fat but do not remove the “fat cap."
- Coat pork butt with Dijon mustard
- Mix together the thyme, kosher salt, chipotle powder, garlic granules, chili powder, and black together. Apply the rub liberally to the mustard coated pork butt.
- Immediately place on the grill with the fat cap up.
- Smoke at 225 degrees F until you reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
- Remove from grill and wrap the pork shoulder tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil.
- Place pork shoulder back on the grill. Increase grill temp to 240 F
- Slow smoke at 240 F until pork reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees F, approximately 8-10 hours (in total).
- When pork reaches an internal temperature of 195F remove from heat and let rest to re-absorb some of the juices trapped inside the foil.
- Unwrap, pull apart and enjoy mouth-watering shredded pork. Serve on a ciabatta style bun and add our Memphis Grill Mustard Based BBQ Sauce to taste.
