SMOKED PORK SIRLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and stir. Pour the olive oil into the bowl last and mix until a paste forms.
• Rub the paste on all sides of the pork roast and let it marinate in the seasonings while your smoker preheats.
• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Place the seasoned roast directly on the smoker or place in a roasting pan and then on to the smoker if you would like to preserve the drippings for a pan sauce (instructions for pan sauce at the end of the post).
• Smoke until the internal temperature of your roast reads 142 degrees F. Remove from the smoker, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, the carryover cooking will bring the roast up to the desired 145 degrees F internal temperature.
• To make a pan sauce from the drippings, place your roasting pan on your stove over low heat. Pour 1/2 cup of white wine into the pan and heat, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned pieces from the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to simmer and slowly stir in the salted butter. Sprinkle in black pepper to taste.
• Slice your pork roast against the grain into 1/2 inch thick slices and drizzle with the pan sauce.

BOB'S PULLED PORK ON A SMOKER

• Cover pot and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Prepare smoker to about 210 degrees F (99 degrees C). Add enough wood chips to smoker.
• Pour cider brine into the water pan of the smoker; add onion and about 1/4 cup more sugar rub. Spread remaining rub over pork shoulder. Transfer pork to the center of smoker.
• Smoke pork until very tender, about 8 hours. Monitor hickory chips and liquid, adding more wood and water, respectively, as needed. Transfer pork to a large platter and cool for 30 minutes before shredding with forks.

SMOKED PORK BUTT

Steps:

• If desired, soak the pork butt in a brine solution for at least 4 hours or overnight. There's a recipe for a brine on this site titled 'Basic Brine for Smoking Meat'. You should do this covered and in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor smoker for 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder and any additional seasonings to your taste. Apply this liberally to the meat and rub it in with your fingers. Place a roasting rack in a drip pan and lay the meat on the rack.
• Smoke at 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C) for 6 to 18 hours, or until internal pork temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
