yes! It’s really best to let it rest for 15-20 minutes to let the juices redistribute before cutting or pulling the meat. You can cover loosely with butcher paper or foil.

I ended up doing around 7lbs of pork, so I just doubled the recipe. With that being said, still turned out really amazing. It was super tender and juicy, day of and day after. This recipe is a keep.
At the begaining of the article before you start the rescipe. It says to use half of the sauce, but at the part where the actual recipe starts it reads…. add Bbq sauce, vinegar, and broth and add to cooker. It doesn’t say anything about using just half. So,do we use half or the whole thing? Or maybe Im just not reading it right.
I’ve slow cooked the shoulder or butt portion of pork many times over the years. Some of my family can’t use barbecue sauce so I do not cook it in with the roast, just serve it on the side. My exact steps are: remove any netting/poke holes down through the roast and insert fresh cut pieces of garlic/rub all outsides of roast with olive oil/then rub all outsides of roast with liquid smoke/sprinkle all outsides generously with salt and pepper/place in slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. I do not trim the fat nor do I add any liquid. When the roast is done, I shred it and check the flavor, adding additional salt if needed. Terrific as sandwich or just as is…great served with a side of good sauerkraut!
This was the bomb! After I cooked it in a slow cooker I put it in the smoker for 30 minutes(smoke only) then put it in the oven on boil to get some burnt ends……Holy Hell!!! Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the recipe, great flavor!
I just bought a new grill – super pumped! Appreciate the post – trying to learn as much as I can before the Spring is in full swing.
Hi can you use a counter top roaster instead of a crock pot?
Yes, but I’m not sure on the exact adjustments you will need to make to the cooking time.

****Wrong
The question is.. what is the best way to reheat this majestic masterpiece?
You could reheat on low or warm in the slow cooker with a bit of extra liquid. Or reheat individual portions in the microwave.
This sounds great
It says pour half of the sauce mixture over the pork, what do you do with the other half? Read it over and over can’t find what to do with it
It’s for serving.

I love the idea of using rub. Just wonder do I need to adjust the salt?
Hello , do you trim off the layer of fat before slow cooking ?
Thanks
It’s up to you, I prefer leaving it for the added flavor and then skimming off any excess after cooking.
I have made this 3 times already and I cannot thank you enough for such an easy and perfect recipe!! It is simply the very best!!
