Trim the pork shoulder to about 7.5 to 8 pounds.

Prepare a rub with black pepper, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.

Season the pork shoulder with the rub.

Set up the Weber grill for cooking using the snake method with applewood chips for smoke.

Cook the pork shoulder at 225 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 to 7 hours.

Check the pork at the 3-hour mark and spritz with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, apple juice, and water.

At the 5-hour mark, wrap the pork and continue cooking until it reaches 203 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook 1 pound of bacon in a pan until browned, then remove and sauté onions in the bacon grease.

Add the bacon back to the pan with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, and let simmer to thicken.

Pull the pork once cooked and shred it.

Assemble the sandwiches with one side having pineapple and Uncle Steve's sauce, and the other side with traditional toppings and Bunyan's hot mustard slaw, topped with bacon jam.
