    Edit:  Belatedly, thought better of vandalizing HondaBBQ's thread.
    My apology, HB.

    Here is the recipe I was given. I'm sure zmokin will find fault with this too. 
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 tbsp soy sauce
    1tbsp salty
    2 cloves minced garlic
    Marinate for 2 days turning occasionally to re coat the butt 
    I also injected the marinade into it. 
    Smoke as normal. 
    I used the left over marinade to season it after pulling. I just boiled it and mixed it in to spread out more flavour. 

    For or a true Tocino slice pork thinly and marinate for the same time. Fast fry to crisp up. 
    other than the soy was there any other liquid added or was it more like a paste marinade

    My wife's family makes a pork on skewer dish that came to them from a Filipino co-worker. Seems quite similar but includes 7up and gin. I wonder if this is a variant of this. It's a mainstay at the cottage on the BBQ but it is not pink, more brown and crispy. We use butt which comes off almost like bacon in some ways.

    I was 1 tbsp short for multiplying it by 8. 
    I also only put 2/3 of the salt asked for. 

    It it was a thin paste like marinade but after a day on the butts it had become a liquid in the bottom of the bus tub I was marinating in. I then strained out the garlic and injected the butt with it.

    The butt is sliced thin and then marinated and skewered. Sorry, not getting into the debate. Especially since I'm headed to Winnipeg at the end of the month and don't want to get hit :)

    Did they ever make you a happy customer?

    Some people may find the title "purist" to be a compliment, but to me it means someone that is closed minded to altering things.  I own a particular sportscar and there are purists that view the car as perfect as delivered from the showroom floor and leave everything perfectly stock.  I'm not one of those.  I like to modify things I buy, making them "my own", and ideally, improving their performance.
    Isn't this comment a little hypocritical seeing as you throttled me over not preparing traditional Tocino. 
    I'm sorry but I don't follow your logic.

    Well. I'm a bit of a purist that way. Or not. I can't remember which is the good one to be.

    Really good to have you back. Damn that was a fun read.

    I do have one question.... is it pronounced "ToCHino" or "ToKino"?  I mean I want to get it right when I tell my friends about this thread.

    I may have mispelled it. It's "tair-ee-ah-kee"
