Method

1

Prepare the pork: Rub the pork shoulder with yellow mustard. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Generously coat the pork shoulder with the spice rub.

2

Smoke the pork: Smoke the pork shoulder at 225°F (107°C) for 10-12 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 203°F (95°C). Use your preferred wood chips for smoking (hickory or applewood are great choices).

3

Rest and pull: Remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding. Use two forks to pull the pork apart.

4

Make the slaw: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Add coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Assemble the sandwiches: Pile the pulled pork high on each bun. Top with creamy mustard-vinegar slaw and exactly three pickle slices.

6

Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the taste of Memphis!
