Overnight Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is a dish made from slow-cooked and seasoned pork, typically shoulder or butt cuts. After cooking, the meat is shredded or “pulled” into strands. It’s often served in sandwiches or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or other dishes.
Overnight smoked pulled pork involves slow-cooking pork shoulder or butt on a smoker for an extended period, often around 12-16 hours. This slow-cooking process allows the meat to absorb the smoky flavor and become tender. It’s a popular method for achieving flavorful pulled pork, and many recipes involve a dry rub or marinade before smoking. The extended cooking time helps break down the collagen in the meat, resulting in a juicy and easily shredded texture.
INGREDIENTS
- 8-10 lbs pork shoulder/butt
- 2 tbsp mustard as binder optional
