Pulled Pork with Garlic and Pepper Rub

Tomorrow is the NFL playoffs. The Chiefs are taking on the Colts and we are having a few people over to watch my "Griefs" hopefully win. We shall see. As always, when there are people gathered at my house, there shall be food. So, I am prepping a 7 lbs. pork shoulder butt to put on the Traeger tomorrow morning and have ready for the game at 3:35 PM CST. I am putting together a garlic and pepper rub to put on the pork. I plan on using the pork to make some Polynesian Nachos. I am also going to use some of the pork for anyone who wants a sandwich or just wants some pulled pork. So, I am making a non-traditional rub to allow the meat to be a little more versatile. Let's get started. Take your pork shoulder butt and rinse and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 1: Open a beer of your choice and pour the beer into a nice glass (I chose a nice vanilla porter from Breckenridge Brewery). Take a sip and set aside for later. It is important to sip some beer throughout the cooking process, because beer tastes good. Step 2: You will probably need some baby back pork ribs for this recipe. If you don't have any, go buy some. I have a party to go to tonight, so I am cooking four slabs, but it is up to you how many you want to make. I have no control over your life, the choice is yours. Step 3: Prepare rub - Mix together the following ingredients (per slab of rib): 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1 Tbs. chili powder 1 tsp. cumin 1...
