Smoked Pulled Pork - Finished with Slow Cooker

Step 1

Rub the roast with salt and pepper. Then, rub in the dry rub.

Step 2

Set up your grill or smoker. Add a metal container filled with water to the side of the grill that will be lit. Place soaked pieces of wood in another metal container,. You can purchase hickory, mesquite, and lots of other varieties. I use applewood or cherrywood from my property.

Step 3

Get the grill temp set to about 225°F. Add the roast to the side of the grill that is not lit. (indirect grilling) Protect the edge closer to the burners that are lit with a piece of tin foil.

Step 4

Mix 2 parts vinegar and 1 part oil in a clean spritzer bottle.

Step 5

Spray with the spritzer well every hour, or so. Check temperature when it starts looking done. Internal temp should be 170° to 180°F. Let it cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Step 6

Place roast in slow cooker the next day. Trim of any large fat cap off. You can add BBQ sauce to the pork when it is pulled. We just add a little liquid, water or apple juice work well. Depending on the size of the roast, It should take 4-6 hours to finish in the slow cooker. The internal temperature should be 195°F-205°F.
