Pulled pork is an excellent choice for a camping crockpot meal due to its many benefits. First and foremost, it's a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect after a long day of outdoor activities. The long cooking time and low heat of a crockpot allow the pork to become tender, juicy, and flavorful, which is essential when camping.
Additionally, pulled pork is a versatile meal that can be served in many different ways. It can be enjoyed as a sandwich, taco, or loaded potato, making it a meal that can please everyone's taste preferences. This variety also helps to keep the meal interesting and prevents campers from getting tired of eating the same thing every day.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast

Instructions
- Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Place pork roast into the slow cooker; pour in barbeque sauce, vinegar, and chicken broth. Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or High for 5 to 6 hours until pork shreds easily with a fork.
- Remove pork from the slow cooker, and shred the meat using two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker, and stir to combine with juices.
