  • Place pork over indirect heat on the grill grate
  • Cover grill and allow pork to cook for 4 to 5 hours, adding lump charcoal and wood chips as needed. Optional: use white barbecue sauce to baste pork shoulder

  • Allow to rest for 20 minutes before pulling apart, using meat claws to shred the pork
  • Discard the bones
  • Toss pork in a large bowl and mix with White BBQ Sauce to moisten and season the meat
  • Paint inside of buns with olive oil and place directly on grill grates
  • Allow buns to cook for 2-4 minutes or until lightly toasted and remove from grill
