Smokey Lonesome

Description

These are stunning glamorous smokey quartz briollettes. I am not really one for pretense so I had to name these after Smokey Lonesome from Fried Green Tomatoes. He is soooo not glamorous. Although he would be if he wore these earrings :)

These are faceted beautifully and the light reflects multi-color prisms off of the teardrop shaped quartz. These earrings are heavy- although they did not "pull" my ears when I tried them on.

SMOKED ROASTED PULLED PORK (OR FRANK BENNETT)
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, mix mild paprika, light brown sugar, hot paprika, celery salt, garlic salt, dry mustard, ground black pepper, onion powder, and salt. Rub spice mixture into the roast on all sides. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
Prepare a grill for indirect heat.
Sprinkle a handful of soaked wood over coals, or place in the smoker box of a gas grill. Place pork butt roast on the grate over a drip pan. Cover grill, and cook pork at least 6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Check hourly, adding fresh coals and hickory chips as necessary to maintain heat and smoke.
Remove pork from heat and place on a cutting board. Allow the meat to cool approximately 15 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks. This requires patience.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cider vinegar, water, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and white pepper. Continue whisking until brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Place shredded pork and vinegar sauce in a large roasting pan, and stir to coat pork. Serve immediately, or cover and keep warm on the grill for up to one hour until serving.
