Pull-Apart Pork
Here is a cheat method for pull-apart pork that has worked for me . I just got myself a smoker and havent even had the chance to use it yet, but I had to share this with you. I enjoyed reading your tips, I will definately try the apple cider method. Thanks, I look forward to using your tips on my new smoker. So here is a cheat method for those days it may be raining, snowing or your just unable to smoke.
A crock pot has worked out perfect for me cooking pork shoulder roasts. A 3-4 lb. pork bone-in shoulder roast works best. Go ahead and put your favorite rub on it, leave all fat and trimmings on as well. Fill the crock pot with your favorite bbq sauces or your own homemade which I use. Go ahead and be generous here because you want to roast almost drowning in the sauce. Add a little liquid smoke to the crock pot, about a tblsp or two. Let that baby simmer on slow all day long roughly about 9-10 hours. I usually turn it up to high for the last hour or so. You may not need to. I usually turn it over every couple of hours, this way I know how it's coming along. Remove pork roast and enjoy, you will have to be gentle taking it out of the crock pot, as the meat will litterally fall apart. Go ahead and use some of the warm bbq sauce out of the crock pot to drench the roast to your desired liking. And of course with many reciepes, you can add just about anything to the bbq sauce at the beginning, chopped onions, garlic, peppers. Whatever you want to add to this mix will only make it better.
