The savory goodness of bacon is combined with the rich, smoky flavor of slow-cooked barbecue pork in this recipe for oven-smoked pulled pork. Ideal for a family get-together or weekend barbecue.

Ingredients: 4-5 pounds pork shoulder or butt. 1/4 cup kosher salt. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons smoked paprika. 1 tablespoon black pepper. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste. 6-8 slices of bacon. Wood chips for smoking applewood or hickory. Brioche buns for serving. Barbecue sauce optional, for serving.

Instructions: In a bowl, mix together kosher salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub. Rub the dry rub mixture generously all over the pork shoulder or butt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Preheat your oven to 225F 107C. While the oven is preheating, soak the wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. Place the soaked wood chips in a smoker box or create a foil packet with holes to allow smoke to escape. Place the wood chip packet on one side of a baking sheet. Wrap the pork shoulder or butt in bacon slices, securing them with toothpicks if needed. Place the bacon-wrapped pork on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, opposite the wood chips packet. This will allow the pork to smoke and cook indirectly. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork without touching the bone. Place the baking sheet with the pork and wood chips in the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 195F 90C, which may take 6-8 hours depending on the size of the pork. Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 30 minutes. After resting, use two forks to shred the smoked pulled pork. Serve the pulled pork on brioche buns with your favorite barbecue sauce, if desired. Enjoy your delicious oven smoked pulled pork with a hint of bacon flavor!
