Smoked Pork Barbecue

Recipe Introduction
"Hal Tyler of Richmond, Virginia, shared this recipe in a fall story that focused on men with a flair for cooking. His secret to perfectly smoked pork? Adding his special vinegar-based barbecue sauce to the water pan in the smoker. Sandwich the juicy pork butt in a soft white-bread bun, and douse with sauce. Topping with chowchow and a tangle of homemade coleslaw? Totally optional, but highly recommended."
List of Ingredients
◦ Hickory wood chunks
◦ 2 cups ketchup
◦ 2 cups apple cider vinegar
◦ 1 cup butter
◦ 1 (5-ounce) bottle Worcestershire sauce
◦ 1 tablespoon salt
◦ 1 tablespoon brown sugar
◦ 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
◦ 1 tablespoon hot sauce
◦ 2 small cloves garlic, minced
◦ ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
◦ ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
◦ 2 quarts water
◦ 1 (6- to 8-pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast or Boston butt
◦ Hamburger buns (optional)
◦ Garnishes: coleslaw, dill pickle slices
Recipe
Soak the wood chunks in water 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the ketchup and next ten ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's directions, using 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 quarts water in water pan. Bring internal temperature to 225� to 250� F; maintain temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the wood chunks, and place on coals. Place the roast on the upper cooking grate; baste generously with remaining barbecue sauce. Cover with smoker lid.
Smoke the roast, maintaining temperature inside smoker between 225� and 250� F, for 9 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 195� F. (Refill water pan with a mixture of 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 quarts water as needed.) Remove the roast from smoker, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Let stand 1 hour. Shred the roast, and serve on buns, if desired.
Serves 10 to 12
