- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper

Coat the pork shoulder on all sides with the mixture by generously rubbing it in
Refrigerate the seasoned pork shoulder for at least four hours, or better yet, overnight, after wrapping it in plastic wrap
To achieve a smokey flavor, preheat the smoker to 225F 107C using charcoal and wood chunks
After the pork shoulder has reached an internal temperature of 195205 degrees Fahrenheit 9096 degrees Celsius, place it on the smoker grates and smoke it for about 1
5 hours per pound
Keep the temperature constant and add wood chunks for smoke when needed
After its finished, take the pork shoulder out of the smoker and give it 20 to 30 minutes to rest before shredding
Serve the smoked pork shoulder on its own or as a base for sandwiches or tacos
