Wild hog pulled pork

[Daezee]

Rub applied and will let sit overnight. Ready for pulling after finally reaching an internal temp of 196 degrees. Pulled after letting it rest an hour. Doesn't include tasting pieces eaten by my wife and I.

The shoulder of a 180 pound sow I took last fall. This was my first attempt at making pulled pork, and my wife, a pulled pork tasting "expert" declared it delicious, tender and moist. She grew up in a family that sold and made pulled pork in Tn and Al. She also declared that our son's family will be over for pulled pork dinner tonight. From start of smoking until done and pulled apart took 12 hours. Longer than I expected, but worth it. I think I have 3 more shoulders in the freezer.

Soak it in canned Coke for about a hour before put the rub on works best for me. Gonna cook some for Easter prolly.

Grand kids, son, wife and I snarfed it up. Plenty left over to freeze and/or have more meals from it this week.

Why canned Coke? And if you soak it in Coke, can you leave the sugar out of the rub mixture?

We put ours in root beer in the crock pot on an 8 hr slow cook and it comes out tasting the best! Set it in the morning before leaving for work and come home to a house smelling of goodness.

Is that all? Just root beer.

Yep, just root beer. Cover it in enough and then set on low for 8 hrs in the crock pot. Then pull it apart and add your favorite bbq sauce and enjoy. The root beer tenderizes and adds a little sweetness to the meat. Makes it shred off the bone so easy.
