    Now, on to a little extra something. Good wood.

    Every day I come back to the same tools, like a bad habit or a comfy spot on the pillow. My knives and my cutting board.

    Shredded Smoked Pork a cleaver and a fork on a beautifully grained cutting board. This is pure life.

    Now that you’ve got a pile of pork to work through, don’t forget that your smoker needs love every day. Try these out to keep that fire going 😉

      I’m a bit confused. Is this a slow cooker or smoker recipe? Step 3 instructs to put the pork in a slow cooker. While in step 5 the instructions say to put the pork BACK into the smoker. Am I missing something?
