- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dry rub over all sides.
- Allow to rest while you prepare a grill fire to about 300° with hickory for smoke flavor.
- Place pork roast over indirect heat and cook with the lid closed for about an hour per pound. Our pork shoulder was about 3 pounds.

To reheat, mix with bbq sauce in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, about 5-8 minutes or until heated through.
