Smoked pork shoulder

Here is how you get this beautiful smoked pork shoulder. What you do with it after words is your choice. Endless possibilities :-)

What you will need.
A pork shoulder roast
5 cloves garlic minced or through garlic press
1/bunch of cilantro chopped fine
4 packets of Sazon( a Latin spice made by goya)
Adobo 3tbs(also made by goya get the one that say con ajo on it)
1 1/2tbs of olive oil
Sofrito about 3 tps ( now if you live on the east coast this is easy to find just please by the frozen kind made by goya of you live on the west coast like me. It's kinda a pain in the ass to find but some spanish specialty stores sell it. If not you can alway use the jar kind as a last resort but I will post a recipe on how to make it soon)
 
Grab your roast and stab it with deep holes so you can stuff the seasoning into it and near the bone on the thicker side cut a slit into it. After you have put some holes through out and made the slit your ready for the spices. Take all the ingredients I listed and miss it together. It's going to seem a little dry and that's ok. Your going to do this the night before so the spices have time to really sink in.
After mixing everything in a bowl rub all around the roast and suff into the small holes you created plus the slit at the bottom. Let sit over night.

Now smoking this is no easy endeavor. Your going to put about 30 coal brickets  in your grill lite them and let the fire completely die out while your waiting grab some awesome woodchips I used misquite soak in some water so they don't burn to quickly.  Now that the fire is out and your grill is nice and hot add the wood chips to center where more then likely it's still the hottest. Then smoke your meat. You need to do this about every 3-4hrs when the coals start to completely die and most roast take about 12 hrs so yeah you have to start in the am. You will have to add coals at least 3x with wood chips. But I promise you the end result will leave your guest wanting more!!! I hope you enjoyed this and everyone safe grilling!!
