Alton Brown poses with his pork after it has been in brine, cooked on a smoker with a dry rub, and left to rest. He has pulled it apart with forks to get his pulled pork.

So good it doesn't even need a bun, making Alton's sweet and spicy pulled pork is easier than you think. Juicy and flavorful, the pork soaks overnight in a molasses-spiked brine and is smoked with a cumin, fennel, coriander and chili dry rub for 12 hours. Need help? Watch Alton make this recipe.
