Step 1 Place your pork on a baking sheet, lather with mustard all over and generously season all sides with honey (or your BBQ seasoning).

Step 2 Place in the fridge, uncovered, for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.

Step 3 Preheat your BBQ/ smoker to about 120 Celsius. Add some wood chips or wood chunks if desired for extra smoky flavour.

Step 4 Cook the pork for about 4-6 hours or until the internal temperature is 75 degrees.

Step 5 Once the pork has hit temperature, pull it out and place in a large foil bin. Fill into the bin your beef broth and light beer. The liquid in the bin should come past 50% of the pork’s height, so add more or less if necessary.
