Editors Note: The following recipe is an exercise in porcine gluttony and has the astonishing ability to resolve any instances of depression.

You want to eat pulled pork but don’t have a grill. Don’t soil yourself. If you have a night to spare, and a big old cast iron pot, try this recipe. Very simple.

Purchase pork shoulder from the butcher. Just ask him or find it for yourself and point to it. If you are not sure how much you should get, either tell the butcher how many people you want it for, or alternatively just buy a nice big hunk and you'll freeze the rest for another day you want instant pulled pork. And in fact this last piece of advice is quite valuable, because freezer pulled pork is a beautiful thing. It thaws oh so quickly and man, does it make a good snack considering it took 8 hours to cook.
