Sister does pulled pork in a pressure cooker as well. Pointless otherwise at this point. Takes no time, and comes out awesome.

Choking down the rage this comment inspires in me, let me just say that pressure cooking pork in a vat of liquid is NOT the same thing as a slow-smoked pulled pork and to call proper barbecue pointless is affront to all that is good and decent.

You could feed most people pressure cooked pulled pork with liquid smoke and they wouldn’t know the difference.

And the ones that can tell the difference, will inevitably go on to eat something else after the meal is finished.

It’s just not worth the time and effort unless you’re a hobbyist.

You don't get any bark without the real smoke.

Pulled pork is too time consuming to do properly for pretty much everybody. And with a couple of tricks to add texture and smoke you can create a very close copy with very little effort.
