Barbecue Recipe......Shredded Pork

With the kick-off of barbecue season fast approaching, my family and I are planning our first barbecue of the season.
Upon inviting friends and family, I was asked by two of my friends to PLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSE be sure that shredded pork was on the menu. This sparked the rationale that since they've only had in once and fell in love with it, that others may be interested in the recipe.
Believe it or not, this requires little effort upon the part of the chef and most people really love it....you can also make shredded beef the same way.
Depending on the # of people you are entertaining, get yourself an appropriate sized pork lion, lay the lion on a sheet of tin foil that is twice the size as the lion. Drowned the lion in barbecue sauce, wrap the tin foil as tight as you can around the loin. Place tightly wrapped lion on grill, or in oven, and forget about it for a couple of hours (how long will depend on the size of the lion, put I say about an hour a pound....leave on shelf of grill so it does not burn). When you feel that you have properly ignored your loin, unwrap a small section of it....to be positive that you have properly ignored your loin, take a fork and pick at the lion....if it easily shred, you have properly ignored your lion....if not, ignore it some more.
Upon properly cooking, the lion will easily fall apart with a fork.
This recipes is easy and DELICIOUS!

In my experience, shredded pork is incomplete without vinegar. Now that's good eatin'! Nice recipe, and nice blog.
