Pulled Pork Sandwiches

For the pork, I covered a large pork shoulder with a homemade rub (some combination of salt, pepper, sugar/brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika) and let it sit in a refrigerator for about 12 hours.  When coals are nice and hot, I browned the shoulder over direct heat, moved it to the other side of the grill over indirect heat, and cooked it for about 3.5 hours, until the meat was fully cooked and starting to fall off the bone.

For the sauce, I used a store bought BBQ sauce and added sauteed shallot, garlic, honey and a couple chipotle peppers for some spice.

Once the sauce reached the right consistency and flavor and the pork had cooled enough to “pull,” I added it to the simmering sauce and let everything get nice for about 10 or 15 minutes.

Simple store bought buns and a homemade slaw are all you need for what I consider the perfect summer sandwich.
