Started with a boneless picnic roast about 3.5# rubbed with my TexMex rub.
Smoked with pecan. Lid temp around 350'

When the roast is around 150 (2 hours)

I saute some red onion, Jalapenos, and garlic.

Add some chicken stock and the roast. Lid on the pot and lid on the kettle. Dial back the heat to 250.

When the roast is 207 it comes it to be shredded. I continued simmering the broth with the lid off the pot to thicken it a bit.

Then I mixed in the shredded pork with the thickened veg slurry.

Heated up some refries with cheese.

Cooked up some raw tortillas (store bought)
And it's finally time to eat.


Pretty good day with the grill. Fun and tasty.

Thanks for checking it out.

My mind is blown. That sounds and looks amazing. Can't wait to try this. I've been wanting to try other flavors on a pork butt/roast cook. And I always appreciate the use of cast iron with a cook. Match made in heaven.

Now take the leftover pork and fry it in a skillet the next day for a taco or sandwich or just plain. Nothing better than shredded pork crisped up in its own fat.

OK...This I gotta try. No way that could go wrong.

I was eating it cold from the fridge today and loved it.

I am impressed and now I am hungry too
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

It's kind of a work in progress...It has the regular SPOG with a buncha chipotle and Ancho...Oregano...Might be more, I dunno without pulling out my notes...Then grind it fine and smoke or grill since it has no sugar...Good stuff...

On edit..........It also has some cumin for a kick, some corriander to sweeten it a bit, and some lime powder for that subtle taste that no one will identify...
