To prepare the wet mustard rub, you will need to use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to mince the citrus peels and rosemary leaves.

Ingredients

  • 1 (about 5 to 6 pounds/2.3-2.7 kg) boneless pork butt
  • For the Rub:
  • 2 cups/475 mL mustard (Dijon)
  • 1 cup/240 mL parsley (minced)
  • 1/2 cup/120 mL dried orange peel (or lemon peel, minced)
  • 1/2 cup/120 mL rosemary (leaves, crushed)
  • 1/4 cup/60 mL black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons/10 mL salt

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix rub ingredients into a paste. Coat pork shoulder with rub, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hours. Preheat smoker and prepare for an 8 hour smoke.

  3. Make sure wood chips are soaked and drained before using. Add charcoal and wood chips as necessary to keep the temperature low, around 225 F/110 C. Smoke pork shoulder for about 8 hours or until internal temperatures reach 185 F/85 C.

  4. Once the pork is cooked remove from the smoker. Wrap tightly in foil and allow to sit for an hour.

  5. Afterward, unwrap pork butt and shred.

  6. Combine pork with 1/3 of your favorite table sauce. Keep warm and serve on white bread buns with remaining sauce on the side.

  7. Top with cole slaw and favorite finishing sauce.

  8. Serve and enjoy!
