If you end up with a boneless pork shoulder, the smoke time will be less. Pork shoulder can also be called “pork butt,” so don’t be confused as this is the same cut of pork. When it comes to seasoning be sure to use your favorite barbecue rub. Taste the seasoning before applying it to the pork. Kosher salt may be necessary to add to the pork if you desire more of a salty flavor. Be sure to coat the pork shoulder with yellow mustard, this helps to keep the seasoning adhered to the pork.  ***ingredients*** 6 to 10 pounds bone-in pork shoulder yellow mustard barbecue rub kosher salt (optional) apple juice ***equipment*** heavy duty foil spray bottle smoking chips Line a large plastic tray or cutting board with heavy duty foil.  Coat all sides of the pork shoulder with the yellow mustard. Cover the mustarded pork shoulder with the barbecue seasoning and optional kosher salt. Set aside. Prepare the grill for smoking, using your preferred smoking wood, and heat to 250 degrees F. Place the pork onto the grill and spritz with apple juice. Close the lid and smoke, 10 to 12 hours, spritzing the pork with apple juice. Once the pork is tender and easily shreddable with a fork, remove from the grill and securely wrap in heavy duty foil.  Place the pork into a non-heated oven or into a cooler, lined with towels. Let rest for at least one hour.  Shred the pork with a fork or slice with a knife. Serve warm. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [A Pleasant Little Kitchen](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) ### Recent Posts ### Main Categories - [A Pleasant Little Kitchen (119)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) - [Happy and Nourished (98)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/happy-and-nourished) - [Eat Well Live Well (30)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/eat-well-live-well) - [Chef's Counter (13)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/chefs-counter) - [Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos (10)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/day-of-the-dead-día-de-los-muertos) - [Easter (6)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/easter) - [Mothers Day (5)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/mothers-day) - [Hatch Chile Season (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hatch-chile-season) - [Hispanic Heritage Month (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hispanic-heritage-month) - [Valentine's Day (3)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/valentines-day) - [Back To School (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/back-to-school) - [Cinco De Mayo (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/cinco-de-mayo) [See all](https://blog.amigosunited.com/smoked-pork-shoulder-0-0-0#) ![Amigos Logo](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/AmigosIcon.png) ### Company Information - [About The United Family](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/) - [Careers](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/careers/) - [Commitment to Community](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/donations/) - [Sustainability Promise](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/sustainability/%20target=) - [United Supermarkets](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/) - [Market Street](https://www.marketstreetunited.com/) - [Albertsons Market](https://www.albertsonsmarket.com) ### Guest Services - [Shop Online](http://www.amigosunited.com/rs/shoponline/) - [Order Gift Cards](https://www.amigosunited.com/rs/giftcards) - [Order Flowers](https://www.marketstreetflowers.com/) - [Take Our Survey](https://www.amigosunited.com/survey) - [Refill/Transfer Prescriptions](https://ecom.nhin.com/nhin/servlet/EpsEntry?CHAIN_ID=UNITED&STORE_ID=ALL&INIT=YES) - [Contact Us](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/contact) ### Resources - [Nutritional Info](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/nutrition/) - [Online Shopping FAQs](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/contact-us/faqs) - [Email Online Shopping Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/groceryDelivery/?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Rewards Program](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/savings/rewards) - [Email Rewards Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/commentsAndQuestions/accountUpdate?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Product Recalls](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/recalls/) - [Coupon Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/coupon-policy/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/terms-conditions/) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Insta.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/smoked-pork-shoulder-0-0-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Facebook.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/smoked-pork-shoulder-0-0-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Twitter.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/smoked-pork-shoulder-0-0-0#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Pinterest.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/smoked-pork-shoulder-0-0-0#) Download Our Rewards App ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/GooglePlay.png) ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/AppStore.png)
