Even my picky children loved it. It was very easy to make and the base recipe for the sauce can be easily modified with orange juice and molasses, but use the brown sugar, too. The sauce makes for a great marinade. I scored the fat with six cris-crossing lines and soaked for 24 hours then smoked with oak wood over a water pan with rosemary leaves in it.

This was good and very easy...made a few changes as I knew it would help -- one being smoke for 3-4 hours then move to oven bag and cook at 250 for another 3-4 hours. Also added a little oil to the BBQ sauce -- and I probably would have liked it a little sweeter with a dash of coffee.
