I cook large chunks of pork (including ribs) in that way. It's my favorite alternative when the weather goes awry and I can't bbq. I normally throw all sorts of things in there. One day I had ribs, brats, and pork butt cut up into chunks all thrown in the pot. I also put beer in there.


oh man...

I realllly want to go make this now.
