Notes

  • Pork shoulder works best for shredding, but chuck roast can also be used.
  • For extra smoky flavor, don’t skip the liquid smoke.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Great for sandwiches, nachos, tacos, sliders, or bowls.
