1. Preheat a wood-fired grill to about 225-250°F (107-121°C), using your preferred wood or wood chips for a true smoked flavor
2. Prepare the pork by trimming off excess fat and liberally coating the meat with the barbecue rub. Be sure to rub the rub into the pork for maximum flavor penetration.
3. When the grill is at the desired temperature, place the pork directly on the grate, positioning it away from the direct flame if possible to avoid burning.
4. Close the grill lid and leave the pork to cook over low heat for several hours, depending on the size and thickness of the meat. Aim for an internal temperature of about 195-205°F (90-96°C) for the pork shoulder or until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
5. Periodically check the grill temperature and add wood chips as needed to maintain a consistent smoke level.
6. During the last hour of cooking, the pork can be drizzled with barbecue sauce, if desired, to caramelize and further enhance the flavor.
7. When the pork has reached the desired degree of tenderness and has developed a nice crust on the outside, carefully remove it from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board.
8. Let the pork rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to distribute, and then slice or pull it apart to serve.
9. Serve the wood-fired barbecue pork hot off the grill with your favorite side dishes and barbecue sauces for a truly memorable outdoor meal.
With this easy-to-follow recipe, you can capture the essence of true wood-fired barbecue flavor and wow your guests with tender, mouthwatering pork cooked to perfection over an open flame. Get ready to elevate your grilling, outdoor cooking and become a barbecue hero in your neighborhood!"
