Thank you for all your ideas, encouragement and a recipe! I had to chuckle at ptquilts as the water was off over here also a day or two ago. Yes my roaster oven is a like crock pot but it is very big 18 QT. It is the second largest to put turkeys in for Thanksgiving. My friend just gave it to me for Christmas and besides making pulled pork in it I have not used it. So that would be 4 1/2 times the recipe Stitchnripper posted. That sounds about right. Thanks!
