Equipment

Ingredients

▢ 2 to 3 pound pork butt roast (or boneless shoulder roast)
▢ ½ Tablespoon Hawaiian sea salt (or coarse sea sale, or coarse kosher salt)
▢ ½ Tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

Instructions

Pierce the pork roast all over with a fork or knife.
Rub the Hawaiian salt over the meat.
Place roast in a slow cooker.
Pour the liquid smoke over the pork.
Cover, and cook on Low for 12 to 16 hours, turning once during cooking time.
Remove large chunks of the tender meat from the slow cooker and shred it on a cutting board by using two forks and pulling small portions of meat in opposite directions.
Discard as much fat as you want. I usually leave a little bit in.

Notes

I start mine around 4 p.m. one day, flip it over before bedtime, and then shredded it into freezable batches the next morning.
To Freeze: Divide the shredded juicy pork into equal portions (about 1/2 lb each), and place in quart-size freezer bags. Add 1 Tablespoon of liquid from the crockpot to each bag for moistness and store in the freezer until ready to use. Thaw in the refrigerator before using it in your favorite recipe.
