I liked your recipe, but i did personal change a few things. I had an 8.5 pound roast, so naturally, i doubled all the ingredients, except the brown sugar. I doubled and added an extra cup of brown sugar. I then added 2 t sp of Lemon pepper and McCormick Barbeque spice. I then cut the Roast into two even pieces and followed your instructions from there. However, i did let marinate for 12 hours. Then i only cooked it the first time at 250 for 4 hours. Then took off tin foil, but left the juice. Cut up onions and carrots and onions and placed in juice, and placed some onions on the top of roasts. I then placed cut green beans and cut broccoli in the juices.Then i poured barbeque sauce on the tops and sprinkled cinnamon and basil leaves on juices and roasts. then i places 4 t sp of butter in juice and 1 t sp of butter on each roast. Then i stirred the juice lightly and put back in oven on 350 for an hour, then i put the roast pan on and left in oven for 30 more mins. This recipe is very amazing and the only thing i did was added my own likings to it. The vegies were amazing too! I really enjoyed the flavorful taste that the roast and vegies had. I hope that you see this and try out my altered recipe as well. Thank you for creating such an amazing taste!

I saw no direction on how to place the pork butt, so I did it the way I do it when I slow smoke on the grill with the fat cap up so the fat runs through the meat as it cooks. When I took the roast out to put the sauce on, I flipped it and put the fat cap on the bottom. The smell while this cooks is amazing.....I wanted to tear into it way before it was done. I prefer to slow smoke my butts on the grill, but this was perfect for a rainy Sunday day! Tender and very flavorful....will make this again when I can't grill my pork butt! Thanks for sharing.

I halved the salt and pepper but otherwise followed the recipe. My family loved this. It was moist and so flavourful. Thanks for such a hit in my house.<br/>Update Apr 15, 2013. I have made this recipe many times and my family still loves it. Now instead of draining the liquid from the roast, once I open the foil, I leave it in the pan and place potatoes around the roast and let them cook in the gravy. Oh my, the potatoes are so flavourful. I use the leftover meat on nachos, pizza sandwiches. etc. I have also successfully added some onion pwoder to the rub. A great recipe. Thanks again for posting.

I had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 stars. I had a 6.5 lb roast, so I bumped the temp up to 275. After 5 hours it was done, but I still cooked it for the 1.5 hours at 375 with the sauce. I wish I had only done 30 minutes. Everyone loved it, but it wasn't as moist and tender as it was at the 5-hour mark.

Since I didn't have time to use my smoker, I gave this a try. Wonderful. The photo suggests that this was a boneless shoulder? I used bone-in and did pulled pork. I did add a little liquid smoke.
