Prepare the pork shoulder by trimming excess fat, leaving a thin layer for moisture.

Mix Cassareep seasoning in a bowl to create a rub.

Apply the rub generously over the pork shoulder, ensuring it covers all sides.

Wrap the seasoned pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Remove the pork shoulder from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Put the pork shoulder on the smoker grate, fat side up, and close the lid.

Smoke the pork for about 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195-203°F (90-95°C).

Once done, remove the pork shoulder from the smoker and tent it loosely with foil.

Let the pork rest for 30-60 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Shred the pork using two forks and serve with your choice of barbecue sauce.
