This was absolutely the best pulled pork I have ever had. Ever. I knew I wouldn't be able to get Hawaiian salt where I live, so I mixed what the recipe called for, using 1/2 kosher salt and 1/2 sugar. I don't know if it would work for you, but mine was very lightly seasoned (I don't normally use salt when I cook, so I'm used to a low-salt flavor).
I used about 1 1/2 T liquid smoke with an 8 pound butt shoulder cut. It barely fit in my Crock Pot (I think I have a 3.5 qt). I put it on low for 7 hours, then turned it and poured out about half the gravy, and left it in for another six.
I could not believe how juicy and flavorful the meat was! I fed 30 very hungry men a great BBQ lunch with no leftovers. I served it pulled on buns and let them choose their own sauces to put on the meat. With homemade baked beans and homemade coleslaw, this fed a huge number of people for relatively little cost.
Thank you so much! This is a keeper for sure.
