3. Wrap in foil and refrigerate 3 hours to overnight.
4. Smoke meat on smoker for 4 to 6 hrs (200-225 degrees check for doneness)(TIP: even after the meat reaches correct temperature you need to let it continue to cook for a few more hours at the 200-225 degree temperature this will produce a meat that can be PULLED: a stringy type of pull. if you can't smoke for that long just cover your meat in foil and put in the oven for a few hours to produce the stringy traditional pulled pork and the smoky flavor will still be present.).
