Make delicious smoked pulled pork right out on your pellet grill with this easy recipe!

Last year, we decided to invest in a new smoker, we ended up buying a Green Mountain Pellet Grill, we have been using it nonstop ever since! It’s also good to note, this isn’t sponsored in any way either, just wanted to share which one we use.

If there is anything I’ve found to be true, it’s that choosing the right sauce and seasoning is vital to making the best-pulled pork.

Tips for Making Smoked Pulled Pork:

This smoked pulled pork starts out with a rub that you will add to the pulled pork prior to placing it on the smoker.

The base of this rub is the yellow mustard that will be applied to the pork prior to adding the rub on it. Yellow Mustard creates a nice outer layer to the pulled pork, it can even give it a smoky flavor too.

We use this as a base for just about any recipe we do now as it really adds a great flavor to the smoked meats.

If you prefer, you can slather on some barbecue sauce while it’s smoking as well toward the last 1-2 hours of the cooking time. We typically wait and add it when serving instead.

I prefer Head Country barbecue sauce, but you can use any that you prefer.

How long to do you cook smoked pulled pork?

This pulled pork can and likely will take up to 5 hours at 225*F, remember this is cooked low and slow.

We have found that it comes down to about 1 – 1 1/2 hours per pound to cook on the smoker. The internal temperature needs to be at least 145*F to be considered done; however, if you want to shred it easily let that get up to 195*F.
