Zubereitung von Barbecued Pork Shoulder Boston Butt
- Prepare the Pork Shoulder: Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, leaving about a 1/4-inch layer for moisture.
- Season generously: Rub the pork shoulder liberally with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar.
- Prepare the Hickory Chips: Soak approximately 1 cup of hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Set up your grill: Prepare your charcoal grill for indirect heat. Create a two-zone fire, with hot coals on one side and a cooler zone on the other.
- Sear the Pork Shoulder: Place the pork shoulder on the hot side of the grill and sear all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Slow Cook: Move the pork shoulder to the cooler side of the grill. Add soaked hickory chips to the coals to create smoke.
- Maintain Temperature: Maintain a consistent grill temperature of around 250°F (121°C) for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190-195°F (88-91°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check this.
- Wrap and Continue Cooking: Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), tightly wrap the pork shoulder in aluminum foil. Return it to the grill and continue to cook until it reaches 190-195°F (88-91°C).
- Rest and Shred: Remove the pork shoulder from the grill and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding with two forks.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the shredded pork shoulder on buns, with your favorite BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and other desired toppings.
