Moistest pork I have ever cooked. I did alter the recipe a bit, but wow its amazing! Instead of using the liquid smoke, I used Rufus Teague Meat Rub. I also added a cup of water and a cup of beef stock to the Dutch Oven and garlic powder. I did not have any bay leaves. I will be making this again soon!

Cooking is a great passion of mine. I am a carpenter by trade. The recipes I submit are usually a mixture of ones that are brand new and ones that are 50 plus years old. I like to look through old cook books and find a new recipe I've never tried before.
