"The Best" Slow-Cooked Smoked Pork Barbecue

You'll need:

1 7-8 pound Boston Butt pork roast

olive oil (about 1/4 cup)

Smoky Pecan Peppercorn Marinade (about 1/4 cup)

1/2 jar Southern Delight Classic Gourmet Seasoning

1/2 cup water

1 cup Smoky Pecan Peppercorn Marinade

Hamburger buns

sliced sweet onion

sliced dill pickles

Rub pork with marinade and then rub with olive oil.  Season heavily with classic seasoning (1/2 jar).  Place hickory chips in charcoal or over heating element in home water smoker, placing meat on smoker fat side down.  Smoke for 8-12 hours, depending on smoker, air temperature and wind.

Remove meat from smoker and cut in very large pieces to fit in crock pot.  If it's not completely done, that's OK.  Pour 1/2 cup water and 1 cup smoky pecan peppercorn marinade over meat.  Cover and cook on LOW for 8-12 hours.  Remove bone, and use slotted spoon to shred the meat, picking out fat pieces.  Drain off excess fat with a baster.  It's now ready to serve on toasted buns with sliced onions and dill pickles.  Serves 12-16.  Enjoy!
