Steps:
- Combine the brine ingredients in a large bowl and stir until the brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Put the pork into the brine, ensuring it is fully submerged. Leave the pork in the brine for at least 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, set temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Take the pork shoulder out of the brine and set it directly on the grill grate, fat-side up. Allow it to smoke for 3 hours, spraying it with apple juice every hour.
- Meanwhile whisk together the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set aside.
- After smoking the pork shoulder for 3 hours, turn the temperature up to 250℉ and roast for an additional 5 hours, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part, but not touching bone, registers 195℉. When it's ready you should be able to give the bone a gentle twist and pull, and the bone should come out with relative ease.
- After it reaches 195℉ carefully take the pork off the Traeger and wrap with foil and a towel; keep in a cooler or warm oven for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Pull the pork into chunks. Discard the bone and any lumps of fat, including the cap. Pull each chunk into shreds, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add in the barbacoa sauce and mix together thoroughly.
- Serve with black beans, cilantro lime rice, avocado, and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Dump peppers into a mesh sieve or strainer, and then holding the sieve over your crock pot, pour the Pepsi through them to get all that delicious sauce into the pot. Discard peppers.(I know it seems like a waste, but adding the peppers will make it too spicy. This small amount of sauce is perfect for the recipe.).
- Add remaining ingredients and then stir until combined.
- Trim as much visible fat from the pork as you can.
- Add the meat to the crock pot.
- Cook on high for 5 hours.
- Shred the pork with two forks and then lower the temperature to low, and cook an additional 3 - 4 hours, until the meat is a nice mahogany color.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for pulled pork barbacoa, as it is well-marbled and flavorful. Pork butt is also a good option, but it is leaner than pork shoulder.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is the easiest way to make pulled pork barbacoa. Simply add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
- Add plenty of flavor: Pulled pork barbacoa is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to add plenty of spices and seasonings. Chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic are all great options.
- Use a variety of liquids: In addition to water, you can also use broth, beer, or even soda to cook your pulled pork barbacoa. This will add extra flavor and moisture to the dish.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will also help the sauce to coat the pork evenly.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork barbacoa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or just want a quick and easy meal, pulled pork barbacoa is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give pulled pork barbacoa a try.
