  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (optional, for tossing)
  • Wood chips or pellets (hickory, apple, or cherry)
For the Gravy:
  • 3 tablespoons butter

For Assembly:

 

  • lbs frozen or homemade French fries
  • 1½ cups cheese curds (or chopped mozzarella)

Instructions

1. Smoke the Pulled Pork
  1. Preheat Smoker: Set your smoker to 225°F and use hickory, apple, or cherry wood for the best flavor.
  2. Season the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then coat it evenly with BBQ rub.
  3. Smoke the Pork: Place the pork on the smoker grates. Smoke for 4-5 hours, spritzing with apple juice or broth every hour to keep it moist.
  4. Wrap & Finish: Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, wrap the pork in butcher paper or foil and continue smoking until it reaches 200-205°F (about 2-3 more hours).
  5. Rest & Shred: Let the pork rest for 30 minutes, then shred it with forks. Toss with a little BBQ sauce if desired.
2. Make the Gravy
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Slowly whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
3. Cook the Fries
  1. While the pork is resting, bake or fry the French fries according to package instructions until crispy.
4. Assemble the Poutine

  1. Place a layer of hot fries on a serving platter.
  2. Sprinkle with cheese curds.
  3. Top with warm pulled pork.
  4. Drizzle with hot gravy.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and serve immediately!

Notes

  • No cheese curds? Use small chunks of fresh mozzarella.
  • Want extra smoky flavor? Smoke the fries for 10-15 minutes before serving.

 

  • Make it spicy! Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
