Notes

STORE. Keep BBQ pulled pork in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
FREEZE. Store individual servings in freezer-safe bags for 2-3 months in the freezer. Make sure to seal the bags tightly so none of it will leak out.  
Pull it out for a quick and easy meal when you don’t have time to make dinner! Let it thaw and heat it over the stove or in the microwave. 
Oven directions: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rub liquid smoke and salt over the pork butt and wrap in foil. Place in a roasting pan and cook for 5 hours, or until the internal temperature is 145°F. Shred and serve as directed above.
