Make burnt ends out of them. Cube them up. Season. Throw them on the smoker for a few hours, then foil and apply what you want - I like them sweeter, so I brown sugar, honey, butter. Toward the end I will sauce them up. For pork, I still think you can't beat Sweet Baby Ray's (original)
They'll smoosh in your hands. I make them all the time for parties, etc.
I usually smoke uncovered for around 3 hours, then foil and add all the other stuff in for maybe another 2+ hours. If you want lots of bark and the texture it gives you, avoid the sauce at the end. I like them to fall apart, and often serve with Hawaiian roles, pickles, raw sliced onions.
Nobody cares. Work Harder
