Season the pork butt lightly with the rub.

Place the pork butt in the smoker at 225°F.

Smoke the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the bark cannot be flicked off with a finger.

Wrap the pork butt in foil and coat it with about 1 cup of Big Red soda.

Return the wrapped pork to the smoker and cook until it reaches the desired feel, similar to Jell-O.

Remove the pork from the smoker and check the texture with a probe to ensure it's tender.

Drain the juices from the pan into a separate cup, discarding the fat on top.

Pull the pork apart, removing the bone and any stringy chunks.

Make a finishing sauce using the reserved juices and coat the pulled pork with it.

Season the pulled pork with additional rub before serving.
