Hey Omy,

When I go shoulder to shoulder with other wives at the "Big
Butt Sale" a lot of them put them in a crock pot and slow
cook them. Then pull'em.

Just a thought.

That's what the Puerto Rican wives do around here. They make a lot
of pulled pork, but they never heard of slow roasting butts to make pulled
pork. They boil it or slow cook it and it's impossible to change their
minds.
(Well, Impracticle to try anyway).

At the risk of starting yet another war, liquid smoke gets bad press mostly
from its misuse. Think about it. When you smoke a pork butt, you don't
mix the smoke throughout the meat and then cook it. Now, imagine if
you use way too much smoke and mix it all through the meat. Yuk!

You know better. Just chop/pull it apart. Use on bread or if "low
carbing" use in a bowl of greens.

I know you know this...
