After I spent way too much money on a real "stick" smoker, I decided I
didn't like a lot of smoke flavor on meat. The only reason I want to
try it is for oven BBQ, but I have a whole grinder of smoked pepper to
use up first.

It would probably be lost on me unless I ate the salt straight.

Oh I was educated long since about 'butt' in fact you did so after

I agree. Wilber's in Goldsboro, NC. We are in western NC but there a
some places that have eastern style.

My son who lives in northern VA sent us a picture of him at Wilber's
last summer. He was on his way to the beach.

to overcome my urge to add liquid to keep from scorching my pork I
figured I would sacrifice the fat side of my roast. 10 hours on low
heat without adding a thing to the crock pot but pork will yield a
tender chunk of pork that can easily be "pulled" apart by swishing two
forks around in the meat. Oh, when I threw the bone on the kitchen
floor my two dogs fought over it until they ripped it in half taking
their indiviual portions to separate corners of the room to devour.

It's bbq sauce using a cider vinegar base. You can pretty much make it
using your favorite bbq sauce then adding some cider vinegar to it.
The pork will almost look like there's no sauce on it but you can
taste it.

You can have a butt on your cigarette, too.

Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_butt>
relates the origin of the term to packing pork shoulder in casks (or butts,
as in "a butt of Malmsey"). The cut was called "Boston butt", and then
simply "butt".

It sounds contrived.

Really? I'll have to look at my gas meter the next time I run the
oven all day, and see if I can guesstimate how much it cost. I
wish I'd thought to see how much the self-cleaning cycle costs, which
runs beaucoup hot for 3-4 hours.

BigC, a small rack came with my pot, so the meat isn't resting on the bottom.
But, when pans don't have a rack that fits, you can twist up pieces of foil into
solid tubes, space those on the bottom, and use them to keep the meat from
being directly on the pan or pot surface.

It's a joint where a leg intersects the torso. I don't know that the
joint is dramatically different. I don't know that it's remarkably
dissimilar either. I don't intend to pursue the orthopedic science of
pigs any further.

you can control the smoky flavor or make it more to your liking. Use
a wood that isn't so aggressive or smoke only for the first bit of
time.

It was sublime. I used a half cup each of soy and sake with a tbs of
sugar, and one heaping tablespoon each of Spanish paprika and Dijon
mustard. Plopped it on fat slices of onion, which I also put atop the
thing.

I'm amazed I never did this before. But I will certainly be doing it
again. I assume what many have said--it hardly matters what you put in
with the shoulder; whatever flavors you have an affection for at the
time. It seems the primary utility is the the juices that you put on
the meat when you first eat it.

Again, thanks for all the input.

It was implied by your use of "but".

Thanks, I make one similar to that from scratch and have found that
Trader Joe's has put their name on one that's almost identical
(Carolina Gold), so I buy theirs now. I just curious about the
cutting bbq sauce with vinegar approach.

It's a sound method, one I've used too.

He may feed the trolls, but this time Gary did not steer you wrong.

That Bone Doctors stuff is well-priced for a true Carolina vinegar product.

Even if you love the TJ's stuff, you ought to give it a shot.

Then perhaps you need a rethink.

Glad it worked out for you. Sounds yummy. Did you wind up using the pressure cooker or the slow cooker?
