I know some would never make it without the smoker but my smoker is BIG and hardly worth firing up for a few lbs of pulled pork. So what I do is use my power pressure cooker. I buy whole pork buts for sausage making and allways keep a few of the bone side pieces for this purpose. Toss one or two in the pressure cooker and cook them for an hour. Dump it out, get rid of the bone and rendered fat. Then I add a small amount of liquid smoke, some barbeque sauce, cider vinegar, garlic power, onion powder and dry red pepper flakes and cook it another hour in the pressure cooker. It isn't award winning pulled pork but ive actually got compliments on it and its a very easy meal to make especially if you have a power pressure cooker. two roasts just went in the pressure cooker for the first hour. Ill probably about get shot for this one too but ill send my wife to the deli to get some cole slaw for on top. To much work to make the little bit the two of us use.
