How to Make A R Bbq Pork Shoulder Sandwich

  1. Prepare your grill for indirect heat. Aim for a very hot fire on one side of the grill and an indirect heat zone on the other.
  2. Place the 5-7 lb pork shoulder, fat-side up, on the grill rack over the indirect heat zone.
  3. Cook for 5 hours, maintaining the hot fire on one side for indirect heat and adding more coals as needed.
  4. Turn the pork shoulder fat-side down and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) in the thickest part using a meat thermometer. This will take approximately 3-4 hours, depending on the size of your shoulder and heat of your coals.
  5. Remove the pork shoulder from the grill and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  6. Use two forks to shred the pork shoulder. You may leave it pulled or chop it further for a different texture.
  7. Generously toast your large buns.
  8. Place the shredded pork on the toasted bun. Drizzle generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  9. Top with a generous serving of coleslaw (recipe not included, but try a classic vinegar-based coleslaw).
  10. Enjoy immediately! Serve with your favorite lager beer.
