I'm looking for something where I can pour some coals, walk away and come back when the coals have burned out and have a few meals to show for it. Thanks!

Nothing is that easy :-D
But, as Bludawg said, pork butt is probably the closest. Season it, put it in the cooker and come back later to see if it is done. How long depends on the size of the butt and the temperature you are cooking at.

Get a rip roarin bed of coals going, toss in a roast close the vents down when ya put the meat in. Its kinda like cookin in the ground, depending how much the cooker leaks and feeds the fire you may want wrap the meat to avoid cerosite taste

As most everyone has already said, pork butt is pretty fool resistant. Nothing is fool proof, but pork butt is very fool resistant.

Not to be a mean or anything but you may want to consider selling your cooker, save any money that you'd spend on charcoal or wood for it and in stead visit a decent Q joint in your town a few times a month or get some of the precooked stuff at your local grocery store and toss it in the crock pot:wink:
Good BBQ takes a little time and effort, even something as forgiving as pork butt needs SOME attention!

Hmmm... I'd hate to lose my wife. While she is a pain sometimes, she does make some great Korean food.
Is it ok to cook somebody else's wife?

Another vote for pork butt. It's good on sandwiches, in tacos, in salads, in chili...heck, pretty much any place you'd use meat, you can use pulled pork.

RECIPE:
Take a small 7# pork butt and place it in a crock pot. Pour in a cup of water, and about 6 to 8 drops of liquid smoke. Sprinkle some BBQ rub on the top, because you're wanting to call this BBQ, even though it's crock pot crap. Cover, turn on low, go to work, when you come home it'll be done (kinda), and you can eat it. Pull it, cover it heavily in some gawd-aweful powerful sauce that has artificial smoke in it too. With any luck you'll be able to eat the sauce and not know whether you were eating ruined crock pot pork or a piece of cardboard.

I would debate that crock pot anything does not constitute nor result in BBQ, no matter how much rub or sauce you apply. Crock pot pulled pork perhaps, but BBQ, not.

Recipe.
Tell your wife you'd appreciate something delicious for supper tonight. Give her some sugar and tell her you love her. Complement her on her superior cooking skills. If you've played your cards right you'll have a delicious supper waiting for you at home. If not, go to Subway instead and contemplate where you went wrong in your relationship.

panned chicken injected with Italian Dressing and rubbed with butter and any spice rub you want. Just put it in and take a temp later.

You wouldn't put a pot of vittles on the stove top to cook unattended and
go off to town would you?
Cooking with live fire, IMO, requires constant vigilance, respect and commitment...

One would think, but then, one would be THINKING! It's always amazing to me as to how many dont think. Like the guys who failed to understand that this is live fire afterall, and cooked inside their closed garage (attached and part of their house). They've never come back; I hope they didnt DIE as a result...
