Pulled Pork - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 7 hours 25 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons Red River Ranch Original or your favorite blend
  • 5 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 9 to 10 pound pork butt or pork shoulder
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • Apple juice for coating
  • ½ can lemon lime soda
  • ½ can ginger ale soda

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the Original seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and dry mustard.
  • Coat the pork lightly with the mayonnaise. Generously rub the seasoning mixtures all over the pork. Place the pork in a large pan and cover with foil. Place in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
  • Remove the pork from the fridge at least 1 ½ hours before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the smoker or grill to 250 degrees F. Add apple wood and mesquite chunks for flavor to the coals.
  • Place or hang the pork in the smoker and cook for 3 to 4 hours or until internal temperature is 170 degrees F. Every hour generously spray the pork with the apple juice.
  • Remove the pork from the smoker and place in a large foil pan or foil boat. Pour the lemon lime and ginger ale sodas around the pork. Tightly seal up the pork with tinfoil to seal in any moisture.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 hours or until the temperature is 195 to 200 degrees F.
  • Remove from the smoker, cover with foil and let the pork rest for about 15 minutes. Shred and serve.
