Once the coals are ready, move all the coals to one side. Place a pan of water on the other side. (An old aluminum pan from a pan of rolls works well -- something disposable).
• Place the meat on the cold side of the grill, fat side up. Add hickory chips to the charcoal and close the lid.
• Add more chips every 20 to 30 minutes. Add charcoal as needed, being careful not to let the fire die.
• Continue to smoke the pork for 9 hours. If you prefer not to have a crispy outside, you can wrap the meat in heavy duty aluminum foil for the last three hours of cooking.
• Remove from the heat and "pull" the meat. This means to separate the meat from any fat, gristle or bone, pulling the meat into strips suitable for sandwiches.
• Toss the meat with a vinegar hot sauce. (Optional).
• Serve with barbecue sauce on a hamburger bun.
