Cheater Pulled Pork
If you like pulled pork, but are lazy or just pressed for time, here is a great solution. Pulled pork these days is usually made from a pork "butt", which can also be called a "Boston butt", or a "shoulder blade roast". For those of you lacking in the area of porcine anatomy, the "butt" part has nothing to do with the south end of a hog. It's actually the larger, or "butt" end of the shoulder (separated from the "picnic" end).
Instructions
Put the ribs on a sheet pan
Smear all sides of each rib with a very thin coat of the mustard.
Sprinkle all sides liberally with the seasoning, and refrigerate for at least one hour (preferably two to three).
Start your fire and prepare for indirect cooking at medium-high heat (about 300ยบ).
Add a couple small chunks of fruit wood (apple or cherry) to the fire about 10 minutes before adding the meat. Wood chips soaked for 30-60 minutes will work well, too. If you're using a gas grill, make a smoker pouch.
Cook the ribs indirect about 2 1/2 hours, turning once at the halfway point.
Pour the apple juice into the foil pan.
Add the ribs to the pan and cover tightly with heavy-duty foil.
Put the pan on the grill and cook indirect another hour.
Remove the pan from the grill, uncover it and let the ribs cool about five minutes.
Shred the meat from the bones, discarding any fat or gristle.
Put a pile of pork on a bun, add some of your favorite sauce and some coleslaw, and you are on the business end of some fine eats.
Enjoy.
