Instrucciones

Prepare the Pork

Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil and generously apply the BBQ rub. Ensure all sides are covered.

Consejo del chef: Let the seasoned pork rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Pork

Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Place the pork shoulder in the smoker, fat side up. Smoke for approximately 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 205°F.

Consejo del chef: Use hickory or apple wood chips for a sweet and smoky flavor.

Make the Coleslaw

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

Consejo del chef: For best results, chill the coleslaw for at least an hour before serving.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Shred the pork using two forks. Toast the hamburger buns slightly. Layer the pulled pork on the bottom half of the bun, drizzle with BBQ sauce, and top with coleslaw. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve.
