Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

This recipe only uses 3 ingredients.
The recipe cheats on the traditional method
by slowly cooking the pork in a crock pot,
instead of slow roasting it in a hole in the ground.
The only hard part about this recipe is that you have
to plan ahead because the meat cooks for 16 to 20 hours.
The meat is smokey and flavorful and wonderful
eaten with cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:
5-6 pound pork butt roast
1 1/2 tablespoons Hawaiian sea salt (coarse sea salt)
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring

Directions:
Pierce the pork roast all over with the tip of a sharp knife.
Place the roast in a large slow cooker
and rub the salt all over the meat.
Drizzle the liquid smoke over the meat.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low Heat for 16 to 20 hours,
turning the roast over once half-way through the cooking time.
Depending on how hot your low setting is on your slow cooker,
you may or may not need the full 20 hours.
When the meat easily shreds with a fork it is ready.
Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks,
adding drippings from the slow cooker as needed to moisten the meat.
