Made pulled pork in the Instant Pot. Juicy and delicious! A great time saver and just as good as the long cooking in the oven.

Not “Pork” but still Delicious

You ran out of pork butts and subbed in a 6 lb wild boar shoulder. Great fat cap on top preseved moisture over 4 hours of offset firebox pecan smoke. Finish in oven, and pulled w a SC mustard sauce. Awesome stuff.
