- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp. Onion powder

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all the seasonings well. Rub the seasonings on the pork shoulder, making sure to get in all the nooks and crannies of the pork and cover it all entirely until the seasoning is used up. Allow the pork shoulder to rest for an hour before placing in the smoker.
- Once the smoker is up to temperature, place the pork shoulder on the rack, and begin to smoke. Allow the pork shoulder to smoke for at least 8 hours or until you can remove the bone from the pork smoothly without any meat attached to it.
Remove the pork from the smoker and shred it using forks or cut it into portions.
