This recipe uses the classic low-and-slow smoking method to break down tough connective tissues and create incredibly tender pulled pork. The key is maintaining consistent temperature and patience.

Remember that smoking times can vary based on weather, smoker type, and meat thickness. Always cook to internal temperature, not time.
