Super easy to make, this set-it-and-almost-forget-it Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill Smoked Pulled pork is a must-try! A spicy rub and a long, slow smoke ensure there's flavor in every bite!
Prepare the pork shoulder by patting it dry with paper towels then smother it in yellow mustard. You’ll need about ¼ cup of yellow mustard.
Combine the dark brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder in a small bowl.
Rub 2-3 tablespoons of the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill to 250°F on the smoke setting using the Applewood smoker pellets.
Place the pork shoulder on the grill, fat side up.
Smoke for about 6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 205-F on a digital meat thermometer. Remove it from the Ninja.
Wrap the pork shoulder in aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Shred the pork using two forks or your hands, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches the perfect temperature.
A long rest is recommended to let the meat settle and relax before pulling.
Experiment with different wood pellets for unique flavors.
Watch the hopper doesn’t run out of pellets. Top it up as needed.
