Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Pork Butt grilled or roasted

Dry Rub

  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar raw
  • 1/4 cup Hungarian paprika
  • 2 TBS granulated garlic
  • 2 TBS granulated onion
  • 2 TBS black pepper
  • 1 TBS salt free chili powder
  • 1 TBS cayenne pepper

Low Salt BBQ Sauce

  • 35 oz bottle of ketchup - Hunt's salt free
  • 2 cups of light brown sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce or cut salt here by using the same amount of salt free liquid smoke
  • 1 TBS granulated garlic
  • 1 TBS granulated onion
  • 1 TBS black pepper
  • Cayenne pepper to taste I like some kick

Instructions
 

To grill or roast:

  • I do this on the grill, but you can also do in the oven.
  • Mix the dry rub and coat your pork.
  • Wrap the coated pork in cling wrap and let it sit for at least an hour in the fridge (I do it 24 hours to let it all meld in).
  • The trick to cooking is low and slow.
  • Use a pan with 2 inch sides to catch the drippings.
  • You want to plan on cooking about an hour and a half per pound.
  • Either in the grill or oven, cook the first hour at about 300 degrees f. to get a crust started.
  • Then pull it out and cover the pan with tinfoil.
  • Lower the temp to 225 degrees f. and keep cooking.
  • After a couple hours start checking the internal temp.
  • When it hits 180 degrees f. lose the foil and coat it with a brushing of the sauce.
  • Cook it to in internal temp of 205 degrees f. Take it out and let it rest for fifteen minutes.
  • Shred the pork with a fork or your fingers and cover with the remaining sauce and mix until it is all covered.
