Preheat your smoker to 250 °F using hickory wood chips. If using a grill, use the Mesquite Smoke-In-A-Can by Steven Raichlen’s Project Smoke, and use offset heat to make this great recipe.
Prepare the pork shoulder: Trim off any hanging pieces or hard fat (save trimmings for baked beans).
Season with Remy’s Competition Rub by Brocmar Smokehouse and paprika.
Place on smoker, fat side down and smoke for 8 hours (until 195-200 °F internal temp).
Mop or spritz pork shoulder with the Mop Mixture 4-6 times throughout cooking.
Cover pork shoulder with foil and rest at least 30 minutes at room temperature (place in cooler up to 4 hours if eating later on).
Shred with hands.
Prepare the coleslaw: In a bowl, add all of the listed ingredients above and mix thoroughly.

Recipe Note
Pitmaster Notes: We highly respect and honor North Carolina’s BBQ styles, and enjoyed creating this recipe inspired by the Eastern and Western regions. We took the pork shoulder method from the Western side, and the vinegar sauce and slaw from the Eastern.
