Ingredients
Dry Rub Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Cup White Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoon White Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 2 Teaspoon Cumin
Liquid Injection
- 1 Cup Apple Juice
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 3 Tablespoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
Dry Rub
- In a bowl mix together all of the dry spices
- Now comes the fun part of rubbing down the roast. I put my roast in a large Tupperware to rub it down in and allow the roast to have the rub flavor the roast even further.
- Allow Roast to set in the rub for a couple of days.
Injecting Pork Shoulder Roast,
- Mix together your injection ingredients, mix until the sugar, and the salt is dissolved.
- Use an injector to inject the mixture into your roast.
- Flipped the roast over and inject all the sides with the liquid.
- Cover in an airtight container and store in the fridge. The rub will more like a paste than a dry rub.
Smoking Pork Shoulder Roast
- The day you are ready to smoke your roast pull it out and allow it to reach room temp before smoking it.
- Spray your smoker rack with a nonstick spray.
- Do a low, slow smoke on mine so my heat doesn't go over 130-150 degrees. Now I like to sue Smoker pucks in my electric smoker, and then a digital meat thermometer.
- Fire up your smoker and get to smoking.
- When your roast has reached an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees pull the roast out and allow to rest before cutting into to it to serve up!!
