- 4Place the pork shoulder on the smoker and cook it low and slow for many hours, maintaining a steady temperature and adding wood as needed, until the meat turns fall-apart tender.
- 5Wrap the pork in foil partway through cooking if the bark darkens too quickly, then continue smoking until done.
- 6Remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest, loosely tented, for about 30 minutes.
