Trail Side Pork Shoulder Ingredients

5 pound Pork shoulder 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
-- RUB --1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions for Trail Side Pork Shoulder


Dig a hold in the ground about 2 feet by 2 feet round. Built a wood fire in the hole.

The RUB - Mix Garlic, Cayenne, and Salt together.

Sprinkle RUB on the pork shoulder and pat.

Place treated pork into an oiled cast iron dutch oven making sure the lid is heavy and fits tightly. Fat trimmings may be used to oil the interior of the dutch oven.

Optionally, onions, potatos, etc. may be added along side the pork for added flavor and moisture.

Once your fire is mostly reduced to coals move coals to the side to allow room for the dutch oven. Move coals back over the dutch oven making sure it''s completely covered.

Come back in two hours and remove the dutch oven from the fire pit. The pork shoulder will continue to slowly cook as the oven cools.

Never leave an open fire unattended and fill in your pit when finished.
