Do you know how to smoke a pork shoulder using an electric smoker?

If you love smoked food, then it’s a good idea to have your own electric smoker. Using an electric smoker can make the cooking process mess-free. It will also help you to create a great tasting smoked pork shoulder.

But, aside from having an electric smoker (find out best electric smoker), you must also know the proper way of preparing and cooking pork shoulder.

The Right Way of Preparing a Smoked Pork Shoulder

1. The first thing to consider if you’re planning to smoke pork shoulder is to buy the right size of about 8 pounds. It’s quiet difficult to smoke larger size because the outer part of the meat may dry out or burned soon while the inner meat isn’t yet done.

Likewise, it would also take longer time to smoke larger pork shoulder. You must also use good barbecue mop during the smoking process. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it moist and flavorful.

2. The night prior of smoking your pork shoulder, you should rub it with yellow mustard. Letting it sit overnight will make the rub absorb into the meat. You can also add brown sugar to add flavor to your rub. It will also produce a nice appearance to the outer part of the pork shoulder.

After applying the rub, wrap the pork shoulder in plastic wrap and chill it overnight.

3. An hour before you smoke the pork shoulder, you should take it out the fridge. This way the internal temperature will be closer to room temperature. Thus, smoking time can be reduced.
