I’m not talking “you don’t need a knife” level here, I’m looking for, “you need a spoon to finish the last bits” level of falling apart.

What are your specific techniques and tricks for different cuts?

Also, if you know a great Tennessee style dry rub I really want to know about it please.

    For Pork Shoulder, I found Michael Rhulmans recipe to be pretty versitile:

    To cook the pork, as noted in post: Ideally, sear it hard over coals in the Weber, covered for 20 to 30 minutes, then put it in a Dutch oven, covered, for 6 hours at 250 degrees (or 4 hours at 300˚F). I think smoke is critical, but if you want to make it super easy on yourself, put the raw shoulder in a Dutch oven and roast it covered at 225 overnight and that’ll do the trick as well. Stir in the sauce. Taste for seasoning—salt, sweetness, acidity,heat. Adjust as you wish

      The key is low and slow. Under 300 and over 4 hours. The key is to keep the mead moist or it will be dry and no good. If you seal the meat inside a container the water genreally stays in place. Once you get a better idea about it all, exposing the meat to smoke or limited high temp that causes browning enhances the flavor.
