Instructions
Set the shoulder roast out until it reaches room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Alternatively, prepare a smoker for smoking.
Salt the roast generously on all sides.
If using the oven, place the roast in a baking dish and bake for about 1 hour, or until browned on all sides. If using a smoker, smoke the roast until browned.
Transfer the roast to an Instant Pot or slow cooker (crockpot). Add cider vinegar, stock, BBQ sauce, and any desired onion, mustard, or garlic.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Smokey Citrus seasoning or to taste.
Cook in the Instant Pot on high pressure for about 1.5-2 hours, or in the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours, until the meat easily pulls apart.
Once cooked and easily pulling apart, break or cut the meat into smaller chunks, leaving the fat on, and spread out on a baking sheet with a rim.
Brush the meat with additional BBQ sauce.
Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until browned and slightly crispy.
Serve and enjoy your delicious pulled pork!
