This pork shreds perfectly after the oven is slow-roasted and pulls apart easily.
The smoked flavor is just subtle enough and not overpowering and it tastes great just the way it is or with your favorite BBQ sauce.
I also give instructions on other cooking methods for slow cooking and using a real smoker.
I was extremely pleased with how easy this was to use an outside smoker and got such delicious results!
I had never used liquid smoke before and when I tried this recipe, I fooled everyone.
The pork tasted like it was roasted in a smoker for hours.
Great for sandwiches, just shredded with barbecue and garlic bread and even the leftovers were delicious.

Smoking without a smoker!
We love the taste of smoked foods.
If you don't own a smoker is a great alternative to get that smokey flavor without investing in another appliance.
Using a Real Smoker, Slow Cooker, or Oven
Of course, the best way to smoke meat authentically would be using a real smoker with smoking chips which does take lots of time.
We have achieved great results using liquid smoke when time is not on our side, as smoking meats take a low and slow period
