You'll get a buttload of opinions on this.

I keep it about as simple as I can and "here's how I do it" and it works well:
- Light coat of olive oil just to get the rub to stick
- Apply rub (more is better than less on pork shoulders). There are tons of rubs out there. I've been using Sweet Rub o' Mine supplemented with brown sugar.
- Smoke at 225 degF (I use pecan) until about 195 degF internal temp.
- Take off smoker; let sit for 30-60 minutes (allows the juices to 'get back in'; If you pull too soon it will dry out quickly.)
- Pull and dig in!

Happy smoking.
