We've all been there; we come in from working outside and everyone is hungry. You open the pantry door and you don't have a clue what to make. To you it looks like nothing but I have a few tricks I have learned from living where there isn't a store right down the road. We plan ahead because it can be a couple of weeks or even a month before you can make it to town again. I have learned from my Mother and my Grandmother how to make something from just about nothing and stretch what you have. I hope it helps!

C. J.'s Carolina Pulled Pork

1 Boston Butt (bone-in pork shoulder) 5 to 7 lbs.

Rub
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup paprika
3 tbl. sp. cracked black pepper
3 tbl. sp. course salt (kosher salt)
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper


- Sprinkle shoulder with rub on all sides. Rub in well. Let stand in refrigerator over night.
-Set up grill for indirect grilling and pre-heat to medium low. (approx. 200-225)
-Add one cup hickory chips. (soak in water for 1/2 hr.). Place pork fat side up on grill away from direct heat and cover grill. Baste with mop sauce and add charcoal and hickory chips once an hour.
-Cook until very tender. (internal temp. 160 min.)
-Transfer pork to cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.
-When ready to serve, pull off skin and fat. Discard fat and finely chop the crisp skin to add to pulled pork. (The skin with the rub is the best part!)
Pull the pork into small pieces along the grain using your fingers or a fork.Transfer the pork to a large bowl or roasting pan and mix


This is one of the best barbecue. I have learned there are a lot of different kinds of barbecue.

C.J. made this and brought it to work, we just about foundered on it.

Give it a try!
