Pulled pork in a crock pot

I do this all the time and it turns out great. I usually throw the butt in there with a couple of chopped up of onions, a lot of chopped garlic, some apple cider vinegar, and some ginger ale. Let that cook on low for about 6-8 hours. Remove the butt and then strain the crock pot to keep the onion and garlic. I then pull the pork apart and add it back to the crock pot with the onion, garlic, and whatever bbq sauce I have around and let that cook for another hour or 2.

Below is what a friend of mine does. It's okay. It's just not as good as smoked. If you can get some smoked paprika, you could add some of that for a little smoked flavor. A smoked salt might also help, but not liquid smoke.

I might add some cider vinegar, myself, like above. Friends makes blue cheese slaw to go on the sandwich.

Pulled Pork

2 onions 18 oz BBQ Sauce
whole garlic 1 cup water
Boneless Boston Butt

Stuff Boston Butt with whole cloves of garlic. Slice one onion and place in the bottom of crockpot. Add meat and one cup of water. Cook on low over night. In the morning remove the meat from the crockpot and let cool. Dispose of garlic and onion. Leave one inch of juice in bottom of crockpot. Shred meat (removing unwanted fat) and put back in the crokpot (with remaining juice). Add one chopped onion and 18 oz bottle of BBQ sauce. Cook on high for one hour.

yeah, I was going to say whatever fits into your crock pot. Just depends on who big that is. The rest of the ingredients are not an exact science.

If I didn't have a smoker, but I wanted it to taste as close as possible to the real thing, I'd load a small mound of lump charcoal and small wood chunks to one side of a grill. Once they're glowing embers, I'd put the roast on the side opposite the coals. Use a thermometer and any dampers on the pit to get it as close to 225-250 NEAR THE GRILLING SURFACE as you can (you're more likely to end up around 350). Cook it that way for about an hour (longer if you can) or so to get some smoke flavor going.

Then wrap the roast in foil, set your oven to 225 and continue to cook until you achieve your desired tenderness.

In my opinion, this is a much better-- albeit more labor intensive-- option than pulled pork in a crock pot.

but the one tip I can tell you is don't put any Bar-B-Que sauce on it until it has cooked. I did this and that stuff burns. Bad.

Works better if you inject it in to the pork.

Louisiana Lady will be here shortly.

I've seen Emeril's Smoking Bags in the grocery store, but never tried them. They're 11 x 19, but can't tell how deep they are or whether you could rig more than one to another to cook something. They can be used in the oven.

I have also made the one on the pioneer woman website for pulled pork tacos and nachos that has chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and it was really good.
