How did it turn out? Been thinking about getting an instapot

I'd prefer it in a crock pot if not cooking it on the grill or smoker.
What’s an instant pot?
Its kind of a hybrid crock pot with multiple functions and timed cooking...you can steam, slow cook, fast cook, and pressure cook...the wife wants one for Xmas...we have several fiends that use them on a frequent basis.
Wife really likes her instipot.
Turned out pretty good. Once I fix my smoker I will smoke part way then finish in the instant pot. It just speeds up the process from start to finish.
I browned the meat first then deglazed with a bit of chicken stock. I then chopped up an onion and a bunch of garlic which I cooked until soft. I then added some additional stock, a bit of apple cider vinegar, mustard, bbq sauce, and hot sauce. Put the meat back in and set the pot on high pressure for 45 minutes. Once finished I removed the meat and poured off most of the liquid. On a cutting board I pulled the meat into typical pulled pork and added back to the pot with some additional mustard,BBQ sauce, and a cap of liquid smoke then mixed until it had the consistency I like.
The great thing about this process is it was ALL done in the instant pot. No getting out multiple skillets and pots etc etc. Everything from the browning to the pressure cooking to the keeping it warm all in one pot. You could even slow cook it for hours if you chose to do it that way.
Curious how others make theirs ??

Anything with smoke flavor for me has to be smoked. I swear I am allergic to Liquid Smoke. I know when it is used bcause it tears up my insides.
I have smoked several roasts then wrap and move them inside to the oven for finishing. They turn out great. I have done this with ribs too. I haven’t tried it with brisket yet.
