TRAEGER RECIPE

Best Smoked Pork Shoulder

Learning how to smoke a pork shoulder is one of the best ways to create incredibly tender, flavorful pulled pork at home.

Let’s get started!

This Traeger pork shoulder recipe walks you through every step, from brining and seasoning to smoking and shredding for juicy, melt-in-your-mouth meat.

BRINE PORK

1. Brine the pork shoulder for 12 to 24 hours, then remove it from the brine, rinse it with cool water, pat it dry, and place it on a large baking sheet, blotting it dry with paper towels.

RUB DOWN

2. Rub the pork rub all over the meat on all sides, using more if needed to evenly cover the meat, or if you prefer more.

CHILL

3. Place the pork on the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours (I prefer 24 hours).
