Ingredients
- 7 pound pork shoulder, bone in
- 1 pint Al's barbecue sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap pork in aluminum foil and place in a broiler pan. Cook for 7 hours, about 1 hour per pound. Remove from oven and let stand for 1 hour.
Wearing heavy rubber gloves, pull skin from the meat and discard. Remove most of the fat and all of the bone. Cut meat into 8-ounce chunks and place in large pan.
Place meat on a charcoal fire and cook, covered, for another 30 to 45 minutes, until well smoked, turning meat over every 10 to 15 minutes. Pour barbecue sauce over meat during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking.
Remove meat from the grill and chop into bite size pieces. Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Note: You should get about a 40-percent return on your original weight (7 pounds = just under 3 pounds).
Al's Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 gallon apple cider vinegar
- 1 (28-ounce) bottle ketchup
- 22 ounces light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/2 cup crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Mix all ingredients in a 6-quart stainless steel pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand, about 30 minutes. Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Yield: 5 quarts

Haven't made this in a while but the sauce is awesome!
I make the sauce when I can't find my local MO state Blues Hog Red Sauce.

We have made this recipe several times, mainly for large groups. Everyone loves this recipe! The meat is very tender, and the sauce adds zip and depth of flavor. We use less crushed red pepper, so the grand kids will not complain - about 1/8 of a cup instead of 1/2 cup. We always serve it with the Red Tangy Slaw (recipe on Food Network, as the slaw uses the same sauce as the meat. Served with garlic bread and corn on the cob - absolutely fabulous!!
