Smoked Pork

Yes, this meat was as tasty and juicy as it looks!
We have an Orion smoker and really enjoy using it. It is a bit of work. You have to clean it, put in wood chips (I used mesquite, but apple is amazing) and apple juice, put in the seasoned meat (lawrys season salt, pepper and garlic powder), put charcoal all around the outside and light it. Cook 3 hours. It doesn't sound like much but it takes some time. But it was so worth it! Even in 104 degree heat! (Is it seriously only May?)
I have heard some grills can be used as smokers. We got the Orion from Home Depot for fairly cheap. Most anytime we are having a big group over we just smoke some pork or turkey. Makes life easy.
We shredded this pork and put it on some Udi's gluten free hotdog buns with BBQ sauce and pickles. Threw some corn on the cob in boiling water for about 5 minutes, and stirred up some coleslaw. T and I were in BBQ heaven! So much so, that I forgot to snap a picture of the whole meal, sorry. But it was as good-looking as you are picturing it in your head!
So nice to be able to eat something that tastes like
