  Season pork neck with salt and pepper. Place pork on grill grate and smoke for 2 hours, or longer depending on smoke preference. Cool pork.

  Over medium heat, add diced onions to large pot with oil or butter and caramelize onions. Season onions with salt and pepper.

  After onions have caramelized, add pork neck, salt and hot sauce to the pot. Add enough water to cover all of the meat. Bring soup to a boil then drop to a simmer.

  Let simmer for 3-4 hours with the lid off so some of the water evaporates. When it has simmered for 3 hours, pull out pork and cool. Once meat has cooled, pull meat off the bone and shred.
