  • Arrange the pork shoulder in a tin baking dish, spray again, and cover securely with tin foil.
  • Return to the smoker or oven at 275 degrees until the internal temperature hits 203-205 degrees and your probe goes in easily.
  • Leave the pork to rest for 1 hour in the casserole while still covered in foil, then tear it apart and season with Smoky Honey flavour.
  • Spread a good amount of Bachan’s Japanese BBQ Sauce on the pulled pork, then top with coleslaw and any additional things you desire.
