I use this recipe and love it. Careful with the peppers, they can be pretty hot but that adobo sauce is amazing. I also add some cumin, that is my go to spice for 'Mexican' food.

I have done it using pork shoulder in my PBC, it turned out great. I modified a standard marinate and braise carnitas recipe. Essentially I marinated a 7 LB pork shoulder in the following:
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 2 table spoons dried organo
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tea spoons onion powder
- 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed, pulpy orange juice
- 1/8 of a cup of olive oil
Marinating it over night did the trick, the orange juice permeated the pork and all the seasonings stuck to the shoulder. I smoked it to 203 with a little bit of hickory wood and then pulled it.
My wife makes home made doilies, you can use tortillas as well. Top with a little bit of cilantro and some chopped tomato and you have some really great carnitas.
When I did this I also did a traditional BBQ pork shoulder at the same time, all my friends said the Carnitas has become the new standard.Comment
