I cooked a 5.5 lb. pork blade roast trimmed of 90% of the fat and used regular sea salt and about 3 tablespoons of mesquite liquid smoke....cook for 12 hours....Wow..... yes the meat came right off the bone and very moist with a slight smoke flavor. This will be my back up pulled pork recipe when I can't use my smoker or I'm lazy ;>) Thanks!

    The perfect culinary canvas! Not only is this recipe delicious on it's own, but you can be creative with sauces. I used more liquid smoke, probably 4 tbs. And I couldn't easily find Hawaiian sea salt so I used Penzey's shallot salt instead. When the pork was done, it had a tender flavor without being salty and there was a very subtle smoke flavor. Next time, I will place garlic in each of the slits. Thanks, for posting!

    This is such an easy way to cook a pork roast and the gravy is the tastiest I've had for ages. I put my 1.750gram rolled roast on to cook at 10pm Saturday night in my Mum's very old slow cooker (cooks slower than what we can buy now) and it was ready by 9.ooam the following morning. There seemed to be a lot of oil/fat which I drained and cooled in the fridge, scooped off then thicked the remains with a bit of cornflour (cornstarch) and my steamed veggie stock. It made the BEST gravy. Served the Aussie way for Sunday lunch with roast potatoes and assorted steamed veggies.
