5
Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temp to 200-225 degrees.

6
Stir remaining rub together with the sop ingredients, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan, and warm the mixture over low heat (you are keeping the liquid warm during the cooking process to kill any bacteria the tool might pick up from the surface of the food, and to avoid lowering the temperature of the food).

Transfer the pork to the smoker and cook it for about 1 and 1/2 hours per pound, or until it's falling-apart tender.

Mop the pork every 1 and 1/2- two hours, or as appropriate for your smoking method.
