This was tonight's dinner.  Made it with a small pork roast as a tester and only gave it an hour smoke.  After that, it was into the oven for a couple hours with orange, lemon and lime juices.  Topped with a hash of butternut squash and sweet potato that was cooked down with sriracha, ketchup, chipotle and cumin.  It will definitely be going into the "keeper" category.

Sriracha Squash and Sweet Potato:

1 small Butternut Squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 small Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
1 tsp cumin seed, toasted and ground
1 tsp chipotle powder (I used home smoked that offered a bit more smoke flavor)
1 Tbls Sriracha
2 Tbls Ketchup

Toss everything into a small pot with a bit of oil over medium-low heat.  Cook 30-45 minutes until sweet potato is soft.

Soured Pork:

1lb Pork Roast
1 Lime, juiced
1 Lemon, juiced
1 Orange, juiced
1-2 Garlic Cloves, peeled and minced
1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano
1/4 tsp Cumin Seed, toasted and ground

Season Pork with salt and pepper.  Smoked @ 250F for 1 hour then removed to oven in a small dish and combined with rest of ingredients.  Allow to cook 2-3 hours in a 400F oven until able to shred.
