Brushed with Dijon mustard, rubbed with barbeque spices and cooked for 8 hours, this Smoked Pork Shoulder is tender and juicy. Mop sauce, with a dash of hot sauce, keeps the meat moist and subtly increases the spice index. Shred it for sandwiches or serve as a main dish with cole slaw and a side of baked beans.Pork shoulder is an ideal cut, especially if you’re new to smoking. The shoulder’s higher fat content keeps it moist and tender, even with prolonged smoking.
