BBQ Rules: All Pork Day – Shoulder, Sausage-Stuffed Chops, and Pulled Pork Tacos
On this episode of BBQ Rules, it’s all about the hog—and not just one cut. Myron Mixon declares it All Pork Day, walking you through a full lineup of mouthwatering pork dishes: a whole shoulder, sausage-stuffed pork chops, and pulled pork tacos.
First, Myron breaks down the anatomy and flavor profile of the whole pork shoulder, highlighting the difference between the picnic ham and Boston butt portions. He shows how to prep and inject the shoulder with a South Georgia-style mix of vinegar, apple juice (never from concentrate), kosher salt, and white sugar—a nod to traditional regional barbecue that’s big on bold, tangy sweetness.
Next, it’s onto the stuffed pork chops, packed with rich pork sausage and grilled to juicy perfection. Myron explains how fat and thickness are your friends when it comes to flavor and moisture—and why pre-cooked smoked sausage makes the best filling.
Finally, he wraps things up with pulled pork tacos using meat straight from the shoulder cook. They’re simple, satisfying, and the perfect way to repurpose leftovers with a little BBQ twist.
If you’re a pork lover or just want to master more than one cut, this episode delivers everything you need to rule your next backyard cook.
