    Tips or pic for a pork crown roast

    Tips or pic for a pork crown roast

    I see you are in Bend. I'm in Portland & use a Webber Smoky Mt. Cooker.  I've smoked just about everything except a Crown of Pork.  I'm doing one for Christmas and have a couple of questions about the one you did for Easter... What wood did you use? How much smoke did you lay on your roast...
