And when you grill a burger, it doesn't have to be beef. 
I offered Mom a goat for Mother's Day. She turned to Dad & commented that it would save him mowing the yard all summer... "and then we could barbecue him".

City Market in Luling, Cooper's in Llano, Louie Mueller's in Taylor, and deubster's in Lubbock! Being 350 miles away from Lockhart matters not, because I have a large pile of Central Texas post oak in the back yard.
I'm rather pleased with our first smoked pork butt. I fork shredded it all last night. The roast had one bone that didn't look all that large after cooking. All fat and connective tissues were completely gone - distributed through the meat and into the water pan. The 6.5 lb roast filled a two quart tub, after our dinner (four piled-on sandwiches). We pulled the tub out of the fridge today and just nibbled on the cold bits. Very, very tasty!
Interior pieces (no crusty bits) have the consistency of good, moist Turkey thigh meat.

I've heard a lot about Kreuz's--worth a trip (worth a mileage run )?
Nothing like smoking a pork butt on the grill and then shredding and eating it right there in your kitchen--gives you a real sense of accomplishment (and maybe delusions of grandeur--it's always tempting to quit your job and go into the BBQ business, right when it comes off the grill and before you do the cleanup).

Pulled Pork
I'm about to embark on my first ever effort to attempt pulled pork (I'm not much of a cook).
I'll be sticking it in my crockpot overnight.
Anything that I should absolutely do or not do?

Had some great homemade pulled pork last Saturday night at a Christmas party with a Southern theme. The cook said he saved about half of the drippings in his crock pot and mixed them in with the BBQ sauce he added after "pulling" the pork.
Our holiday menu included collard greens, sweet potato casserole, cheese grits casserole and cole slaw with some chopped apples. My wife prefers pulled pork "Memphis style" and loved the slaw.

get ready for the smell....
My wife will make this three or four times a year with a boston butt..... great taste, the process is something that I am greatful for.
She throws a halved onion in the crock pot and away we go.

The crockpot is a good start for pulled meats. After a bit of cooling we cut the meat into large chunks, then use two large dinner forks to 'pull' it.
Generally works best to stab the meat with the forks towards the center with the forks facing out and then pull outwards.
Sauce it up, reheat, and you should be good to go. Enjoy!

Earlier this year I was in Hawaii (my first time ever), and on the free day before I had to leave I got a tour around the island and lunch at the Royal Kitchen ("Home of the Baked Manapua, Since 1974"). My host told me, y'know, in the old days, a pig would be roasted all day long, in a pit in the ground, on hot rocks, covered with leaves ...
Yes, I know, I said, I've seen it on TV.
Well, he said -- bursting my sentimental bubble -- now it's all done in Crock-Pots with Liquid Smoke.
Do toss in a little Liquid Smoke. Contrary to some foodsnobs' opinions, there's nothing artificially colored or flavored about it; it is exactly what it says it is. And does it make make pulled pork taste great!
