How to Make Pulled Pork

Step 1

Mix the seasonings, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork. Season all sides with the seasoning mix.

Step 3

Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, high for 6 hours, or until tender.

Step 4

Prepare the smoker and preheat it to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Smoke the pork for 6-8 hours until tender. When the fat “bark” starts splitting and letting out some of the juices, it’s time to wrap it in aluminum foil. This will trap those delicious liquids and baste the meat in them for the next few hours.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the seasoned pork in a baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 6-8 hours until tender.

Step 6

Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces.

Step 7

It is ready to serve.
