I know this thread is old but I’m gunna chime in, I don’t know why anyone would ever put pulled pork in a crock pot if you have a smoker. Season well with what ever rub you want, smoke at 175-190 for 10 hours if it starts to burn cover with foil... no crock pot Necessary

Because the pork butt only takes smoke for so long , say 3-4 hours. The crockpot finishes the cooking and no pulling and shredding necessary. I’ve done the ten hour thing and pulled my pork by hand :rolleyes:

Need to then reheat. I’ll never not do the smoker then crock pot method again. Pull out bone with tongs and stir..also noticed any residual fat is all but gone .  Wallah , shredded and tender as all get out. My .02

i prefer by hand so I get no non meat chunks in mine. Like chunks of fat or grizzle from near the bone. I feel one bite of that mixed in an otherwise great sandwich is a complete disaster and would ruin the meal and my reputation!!!

Plus I don't think one butt would fit in my crock and i sometimes do up to 4 or 5 at a time, no fooling around here!!

Yea I get the Idea behind why you do it that way I just find it pointless... I pull it straight out of the smoker I use yellow dish gloves and eat right away

For a smoked pork roast, I rub it with mustard, and spice it rather heavily, after 4 hours of smoke (hickory) I cover it with tin foil, add some water to the pan, and let it go another 10-12 hours, depending on the size of the roast. It rivals anything I've ever had in Dixie. But no reason why you couldn't finish it in a crock pot, it would save on fuel or electric, is easier to watch, and sure does make the house smell good. :D

For Italian pork, strictly in the crock pot. 1 can of beer, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. I used to cook it in the oven because that's what I learned in a restaurant, but have since seen the error of my ways.

More often than not, I use wild hog, I kill a couple most years.

Mine comes out so tender, I just have to take a pair of tongs, give it a stir, and it's shredded. My kids bought me these meat shredder tools a few years ago, don't have the heart to tell them, but I've never used them, they are just taking up room in the drawer. They look like weapons, LOL.
