Dry Rubbed Pork Shoulder Roast with molasses BBQ sauce

Slow Barbeque Dry Rubbed Pork Shoulder with Molasses BBQ Sauce

Dry rubbed pork shoulder is a close cousin to pulled pork but can be cooked faster at a higher temperature, then sliced like a pork roast. The richly flavoured homemade BBQ Sauce gets glazed on in the final hour of cooking for a wonderful combined flavour with the dry rub.
