- When done smoking, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before roughly chopping with a sharp knife.
- For the pulled pork, combine the peach nectar, apple juice, and dry rub in a large bowl.
- Inject the pork shoulder with about 1 - 1 1/2 cups of the mixture and generously season with the dry rub.
- Place in an aluminum pan and smoke at 225°F for about 12 hours.
- When done smoking, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before shredding with hands or meat claws.
- For the coleslaw, combine the broccoli slaw, shredded cabbage, red onion, dried cranberries, and bacon in a large bowl.
- Toss with enough coleslaw dressing to fully coat everything.
- Season to taste with Texas Chicken Tickler seasoning or your favorite seasoning.
- To assemble the sandwiches, open up your burger bun and place a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the bottom.
- Add a handful of the beef brisket to the bun and a squirt of BBQ sauce.
- Top with a handful of the pork and a bit more BBQ sauce. Add a large spoonful of the slaw.
- Squeeze a bit of BBQ sauce onto the top bun to finish the sandwich off.
