Sounds yummy!! I take short cuts when making mine. I take a couple of roasts and put them in the crock (with some water) and turn it on low for 12 hours. I then shred the roasts with forks and put it back in a clean crock with some Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce (I can find it in my grocery store because its local to me but they also have website ordering at http://www.montgomeryinn.com). I then let is cook on low for about another 6 to 12 hours. Comes out really yummy.
