Inject Pork

Rub

  • Dry meat off with paper towel.
  • Sprinkle meat generously with Holy Gospel All Purpose Rub.
  • Sprinkle meat generously with Heath Riles Sweet Chipotle. Let rub sit for 20-30 minutes before putting meat on your smoker.

Smoking Pork

Place pork in a smoker safe dish, foil pans work well for easy clean-up. Sprinkle pork with brown sugar, BBQ sauce, cubed butter, Rib Candy and corn syrup, (SEE WRAP INJREDIENTS ABOVE) cover with tinfoil and place back on smoker and continue to cook until pork reaches an internal temperature of 195F-210F.
