RESULTS:
I put it in the crock over night. I added a small,small dash of liquid smoke, I was afraid of it affecting the taste too much, so I only added in half of what the recipe called for. I've tasted food with too much liquid smoke and it is yuck,yuck yuck.

I put my crock on my lowest setting, so after six hours I woke up and it was semi done, but not quite done.

I didn't use much sauce at all, just enough to cover the butt without it swimming in it. End result was that the meat was not swimming in sauce.

It turned out really really good. A 3lb butt lasted about a day and a half between me, my husband and his 15 year old son (I only had 3 sandwiches during the entire time). At least it didn't go to waste!

Last night I experimented with Chicken Cordon Bleu (corny I know) and it turned out sastisfactory.

Tonight is curry night!

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!
