Rub
In a small bowl, mix the rub ingredients with your fingertips
Allow the roast to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes
before grilling
Massage the rub mixture all over the roast
Grill over indirect medium heat until the meat is very tender but
still juicy, about 5-6 hours, turning every hour or so, (internal
temperature
next to the bone should be 180°F to 190°F)
Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or coals about half way
through the grill time
When done, remove the pork shoulder from the grill, lightly cover
with a piece of aluminum foil, and let rest for 30 minutes
Sauce:
Meanwhile make the sauce;
In a medium saucepan, combine the sauce
ingredients with 1-cup of water and bring to a boil over medium
heat, stirring occasionally
Reduce the heat to a simmer for 10 minutes
Pull the pork into shreds with two forks,with your fingers, or chop
it with a knife
In a large bowl, moisten this shredded meat with the sauce and mix
well (may not need it all)
