3The Cook

- Place the pork in the smoker with a tray to catch all the drippings and smoke the pork until an internal temp of 205°F.
- Once the pork reaches the desired internal temp. Place it in a pan adding any drippings, cover it with foil and let it rest for one hour before shredding.
- Build your slider by toasting the buns. Load them with pulled pork and coleslaw.
- Tips:
  
  – Mix your pulled pork with your favorite bbq sauce
  
  – Pork shoulder cook times can fluctuate. Smoking the pork overnight can help alleviate the frustration of an undercooked pork shoulder. Smoke overnight and rest in a warming rack until it's time to serve.
  
  – Pickles are a great addition.
  
  – If you need to speed up the cooking time of your pork wrap it tightly in foil and place it back in the smoker.
