Oven Pulled Pork

Slow smoking a pork shoulder for pulled pork isn't always possible, but you can get great consistent results in your oven. The pulled pork recipe in the video is toned down a bit from what we will usually do around our house - we tried to make a good starting point for people who shy away from too much spice or heat. For those of you who can take the heat... feel free to pour it on!
