For an even deeper smoky flavor, add wood chunks like hickory, apple, or mesquite to your smoker. Wrapping the pork butt in butcher paper during the last few hours of smoking can help retain moisture and speed up the cooking process. Let the pork butt rest for at least an hour after smoking before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat. Serve the shredded pork on buns with your favorite BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and pickles for a classic pulled pork sandwich.
