  3. Remove pork and add chopped apples and onions. Place pork back in and fill with stock and juice to cover ¾ of the pork.
  4. Cook low and slow for up to 6 hours or when the pork pulls apart. Try and regulate a slow heat approx. 150 degrees at most.
  5. Once finished, place shredded pork into a tray and thoroughly coat in BBQ sauce.

For the nachos

  1. Line your camp oven with tin foil

  3. Cover camp oven and place on metal grill over fire (or over hot coals) for about 10 mins or until the cheese has melted. Served with smashed avo, dollop of sour cream and lime wedges.
