"I had a 5 1/2 lbs bone in Butt so it used the full 10 hrs. I used I tbl of coarse salt, as my sea salt was to fine grained and 1 tbl of Accent (MSG) to cover the whole roast. We try to use MSG whenever possible because of the lower sodium content. Plus it just makes everything taste so much better.
The meal was great and it really needs no additional ingredients.""I make a similar recipe, but I brush liquid smoke on it prior to cooking. The first time I made it, I thought it would be too much, it's not. Try it sometime!"
"Very easy and delicious!"
"Awesome!"
"Not having ever tried anything similar, I didn't have any preconceptions of what it would taste like. It was different from my usual pulled-pork recipes, but in a good way. We used pre-cooked strips of bacon, which still gave enough bacon flavor to the dish."
"I loved this recipe. I had a lot of leftovers so one night I added BBQ sauce for pulled pork subs and another night I added Mexican spices to the recipe and made enchiladas (you'd never know cabbage was mixed in!). The only down side to the recipe was the smell as my house smelled like cabbage for a day or so afterwards."
"This was a very different recipe. My husband really enjoyed it but I didn't care so much for the cabbage. If I ever make it again I might use sauerkraut instead of cabbage."
