| Chris Lilly Shares his recipe for Championship Smoked Pork Shoulder at the 2012 Atlanta Food and Wine Festival |
- 12 to 16 pound pork shoulder
- Injection ingredients:
- For the pork shoulder rub
- Pork injection
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
- *The sugar and salt act like a brine for extra juicy meat
- For the Rub:
- For the pork shoulder rub
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1/3 cup garlic salt
- 1/3 cup kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ or Big Bob Gibson’s Championship Sauce
- Inject pork shoulder evenly with injection solution. Apply a generous amount of rub onto meat. Pat so the rub will adhere. Place in a smoker and cook with indirect heat for 16 hours on 225°F. Serve with sauce on the side or paint shoulder with sauce the last 20 minutes of cooking. When done, the pork should pull off the bones easily. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 195°F.
- Chris’s Tips:Make sure you keep a pan of water in the smoker for the duration of the cooking time-High Humidity is the key to keeping it moist and delicious.
- You will probably need to replenish the charcoal during the cooking process,so keep a charcoal chimney filled with hot charcoal to maintain the temperature.
Thanks! Perfect for summer fun.
