Ingredients

For the Pulled Pork

hickory wood chunks
lump charcoal
1 5-7 pound Boston butt (aka pork butt)
2 Tbsp dry mustard
½ Tbsp granulated garlic
½ Tbsp black pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
¾ tsp cayenne pepper
¾ tsp chili powder
½ tsp kosher salt

For the Sandwiches

Instructions

For the Pulled Pork

Fill grill/smoker with lump charcoal and wood chunks. Preheat to 225-250°F.
Place pork on a large cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a small bowl, add all of the spices for the rub and mix until well combined. Apply rub to all sides of the pork shoulder.
Insert probe thermometer into pork, taking care to avoid touching bone.
Place pork on grill/smoker and close lid. Periodically check on the temperature of the grill to ensure it stays around 240°F +/- 10°F.
Once the pork shoulder reaches an internal temperature of 190°-195°F, remove from grill and wrap in aluminum foil and allow to rest for 1-3 hours. (Note: This step will take ~1-1 ½ hours per pound.)
Unwrap pork and place on a large cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred the pork into finer pieces.

For Pulled Pork Sandwiches

In a small bowl, add pulled pork and barbecue sauce. Mix until pulled pork is well coated. Add a heaping amount of meat on each pretzel roll.
Top with coleslaw and additional barbecue sauce before serving.
