Ingredients:

  Pork

• 1 bone-in pork shoulder
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1 cup barbecue rub of choice

  For the pork

1. Trim any stray pieces of bone from the pork shoulder.

4. During the first 3 hours of cooking, lightly spritz a uniform coating of apple cider vinegar on the pork. Do this once every hour.
5. Once the pork turns a beautiful mahogany color (about 3 hours), remove it from grill or oven. Cover the pork in the remaining apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Wrap the pork in foil and place back on grill or oven for another 4 to 6 hours.
6. Using a meat thermometer, and remove the pork when the temperature reads 205 f.
7. Open a small side of the foil to allow heat to escape, about 45 minutes.

  For the Carolina sauce
