No Fail Smoked Pulled Pork Food

HOW TO MAKE PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Slow Cooker Method: Place pork in slow cooker and pour coke around it. Cover and cook on LOW (recommended) 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
• Instant Pot Method: Place pork in instant pot and pour coke around it. Cook on Manual/High pressure for 70 minutes. When timer beeps, allow the pot to naturally release pressure, about 15 minutes longer. Remove lid and shred the meat.

SMOKED PULLED PORK

Steps:

• The night before, make incisions in pork butt and stuff with jalapeno peppers. Then, rub with your favorite blend of Cajun spices.
• Start fire in smoker about 13 hours before you want to serve the pork. When the temperature reaches 200 degrees F, put pork butt in, uncovered. About 7 hours later, take meat out and baste with your favorite BBQ marinade, wrap pork in foil and return to smoker. Turn heat up to about 300 degrees F and let cook about another 5 hours.
• When the bone slides out, the pork is done. Remove from smoker and pull pork apart. Serve on a bun and if, desired, your favorite barbecue sauce.
