Directions:
1. At least 1 hour before smoke cooking, soak wood chunks in enough water to cover. Drain before using.

3. For rub: in a small bowl, combine seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers.

4. In a smoker, arrange preheated coals, wood chunks, and water pan according to manufacturer's directions. Pour water into pan. Place meat on grill rack over water pan. Cover and smoke for 5 to 6 hours or until meat is tender, brushing once or twice with mop sauce during last 1 hour of smoking. Add additional coals, wood chunks, and water as needed to maintain temperature and smoke. Discard any remaining mop sauce.
