  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the dry rub.

    Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours (or High for 5 to 6 hours) until the meat is fork-tender.

  6. 6
