~6 hours later Carnitas, they went into the fridge as is.

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting. The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

Looks fabulous. Something you might try: chunk up the butt before seasoning and resting, smoke in a pan. Flavor gets more intense with more surface area. This may not suit your taste buds, but it works for us.

What seasoning did you use?
