Recipe Tips

• Low and Slow Option: For even more tenderness, cook on low for 6-7 hours instead.
• Add BBQ Sauce: For a saucier version, add 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce during the last hour.
• Use Bone-In or Boneless: Either works well—bone-in adds extra flavor.
• Make it Spicier: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the rub for a kick.
