"Pork is my favorite meat to smoke; it turns out so moist and flavorful. I like to brine a roast before smoking it to add more depth to the flavor. This is always a hit when served up at a pot-luck dinner!! If you are lucky enough to have any left-overs they make for a great pulled pork sandwich, just place the meat in a pot with a bit of water and BBQ sauce and heat through then serve it over a bun topped with coleslaw, YUMMY!!!"
Mix the brine ingredients together in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved; set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour the brine mixture into a large plastic bag (I use a clear garbage bag) and add the pork roast.
Remove as much of the air as you can from the plastic bag and tie it securely; place this in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Remove the roast from the brine and place it onto a surface lined with plastic wrap.
Mix together the rub ingredients and rub half of the mixture over the roast making sure you get it into all the creases and crevices; turn over and repeat on the other side.
Wrap with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Remove the roast from the plastic wrap, prepare the smoker according to manufacturer’s directions and place the roast on a rack of the smoker.
Smoke for 10 hours at 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove roast from smoker, set it on a flat work station and shred it apart with two forks.
Enjoy!!
