The Glade 4.0

First time I've tried this...turned out pretty good! (I don't have a smoker yet so did this in the slow cooker)

Dry rub was garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a dash or two of cayenne. Adjust to your own taste. I rubbed this into the shoulder roast, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and refrigerated it for a few hours before putting it into the slow cooker.

Place 1 large onion, coarsely chopped, and a few cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped, into the slow cooker. Add the dry rubbed roast, add water to about 2/3 full, add 2 tablespoons liquid smoke...cover and set on low and cook over night for 8 to 12 hours. In the morning, remove roast from slow cooker, discard the liquid, shred the pork and place back into the slow cooker. Add your favorite BBQ sauce and cook on low for a couple hours to heat thoroughly. Serve on your favorite rolls/buns with cole slaw and dill pickles and of course, extra sauce!

I'd say he disapproves of the use of a crock pot.

A slow cooker is fine, though you miss the obvious smokiness more traditional methods of indirect cooking provide. I actually disapprove of further slow cooking the pork in sauce and then adding more sauce.

_________________

Putting it back into the slow cooker with sauce was just to warm it up a bit. There are some people that won't eat a pulled pork sandwich unless it's dripping. I'm not one of those people, but hubby is.

When I have a little extra cash I'm definitely getting a smoker!

Really good pulled pork requires no sauce.

Mmm.

Been eating pulled pork sandwiches for days now, though sadly I'm down to 1-2 sandwiches of meat left. Similar cooking method, though without so much liquid. Every time I've eaten them has been a new experiment with barbeque sauces, none of which have been particularly great, but all serviceable and frankly more fun than just using a recipe or something from a bottle. I only use a little bit anyway... the meat itself is quite good without sauce!

Best part: the whole cooking process is really, really easy. Just takes a very long time...

Jasmy, how did the liquid smoke work out? I've heard about it but never tried it. Did it taste like normally smoked pork?

Deeger, liquid smoke adds a decent smokiness to the pork, but it's definitely not the same as real smoked pork.

I've always been a fan of a bit of white wine and julienne vadelia onions, along with whatever your rub of choice is, foil wrapping, and then slow smoking.

Well, seeing as the ground in Vidalia has gone fallow from over farming the onions, you're probably better off with sweet Spanish onions of your choice.

In all honesty, you're probably getting some variety of sweet Spanish yellow onion instead of a real Vidalia Onion in the first place. Vidalia is a small, small place and the local farming population couldn't meet global demand on the amount of land they have in the first place. That said, having lived around here a long, long time ...

They'll be coming into season in about 4-6 weeks, reach peak sweetness for the year around mid June, and start disappearing from the shelves in late August. It's a temperamental onion.

I thought you let a field go fallow so you wouldn't make it less fertile/productive. Are you saying the fields are unproductive (fallow) because they've been continuously over-farmed and not allowed to "rest", or they're fallow so that they aren't over farmed? I's confused.

The ground is fallow and unproductive because it's been over-farmed and depleted. It not longer produces spectacularly sweet, low sulfur onions.
