Smoked Pork Shoulder (Pulled)

Pork shoulder is probably the most popular and easiest BBQ meat. With the high fat content it makes nearly impossible to over cook or dry out. You can however under cook it making in not easy to pull or shred. The optimal temp is 200-205ยบ to melt the fat and collagen.
