Kalua Pork
(Kalua is a traditional Hawaiian method of cooking. Kahlua is a liquer. Don't confuse the two!)
Posted by Kim Ghramm
1 5-6 lb pork butt roast
1 TBSP Sea Salt
2 TBSP Liquid Smoke flavor
Put roast in crock pot (fat side down) then put the salt and liquid smoke on it. Cover and let simmer 18-24 hours.
I usually stir mine first thing in the morning and take out the bone. There will be a lot of liquid from the fat off the roast.
Is wonderful served with fried cabbage with garlic in it and rice.

Info on liquid smoke flavor:
A concentrated flavoring used to duplicate the essence of smoked wood, liquid smoke is literally the flavor of smoke captured in water. Wood chips or sawdust are burned in a controlled environment, producing tiny smoke particles held in water vapor. Chilled air is introduced, causing the particles to condense into liquid. The liquid is then aged in oak barrels.
Liquid smoke is usually made from smoked hickory, mesquite, pecan, or apple wood, and can be applied to a gas grill to add a charcoal flavor, added to a meat marinade or curing solution, or used on soft cheeses and meatless proteins such as tempeh. (source: www.yumsugar.com/Know-Your-Ingredients-Liquid-Smoke-3197694)
It's important to still read ingredient lists however! You never know what they will add in addition to the pure liquid smoke.
Smoking a pork butt is a possible alternative than liquid smoke too. An hour or two before taking it off the smoker, wrap and seal it in foil. When you take it off, the meat if fork tender and easily shredded.
