  ROAST PREP
  Trim up the pork butt – it does not require a lot of trimming because cooking low and slow will melt the fat Place rub on liberally on all sides of the butt – It will not penetrate the fat cap side but will provide a nice color to it.
  Let the rub set on the pork for 1 hour.
  Place small hardwood chunks in water to soak

  SETTING UP YOUR GRILL
  You will set up your grill for indirect grilling – coals on one side of the grill and no coals on the other side Place a foil drip pan opposite the unlit coals You’re looking for a grill temperature between 250 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit

  COOKING
  Place the shoulder on the grill over the drip pan with the fat cap up – this will let the fat baste the shoulder as it melts
  Place a piece of the soaked hickory wood onto the hot coals – since they are soaked in water they will put off a light smoke and not burn up right away
  
  You cooking time will be about 8 hours depending on your grill temp.
  
  AFTER 2 Hours Spray the shoulder with the mop sauce
  Add more hardwood to the coals
  
  AFTER 4 Hours Spray the shoulder with mop sauce Rotate the shoulder 180 degrees so you get even cooking Add prelit coals as needed to keep your temp at 250 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit 18.
  
  After 8 Hours
  You are looking for an internal temp of 190 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit
  Remove the shoulder from the grill and wrap tightly in tin foil
  
  Let it rest for 1 hour
