Rub this mixture vigorously into the scores on the skin. Mix your "Hot" spices and coat the meat exposed by the scores. Let this sit uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours. This dries the skin—crucial for the "crack."

2. The Low Ride Preheat your smoker or oven to 225°F. Place the pork on a rack over a drip pan. Let it ride for 8–10 hours. You are looking for an internal temp of about 195°F. The meat should be trembling, but the skin won't be crackling yet.

4. The Rest Pull it out. Let it rest for 30 minutes under foil. This is the hardest part.
