* 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, or pork butt * ¼ cup liquid smoke * 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt, or rock salt (not table salt) * 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder * ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Instructions
1. Thoroughly dry pork with paper towels. Use a sharp, small knife to pierce pork all over (about 1/4″ deep slits throughout entire pork.) Place pork in slow cooker. 2. Rub salt all over pork. Rub liquid smoke all over pork, using all the liquid smoke. Sprinkle on the garlic powder and black pepper. Cover and cook on low for 12 hours, turning roast over once midway through cooking. 3. Using forks, shred pork in slow cooker. Taste and add salt/pepper as needed. Add up to 1 cup water or broth as needed to thin out – do not skim the drippings. Cook on low 1-2 more hours.

Pro Tip: Into those 1/4″ slits, insert cloves of garlic, whole or sliced lengthwise instead of the garlic powder. A solid recipe.
