Very classic recipe. My recipe calls for 1/4 cup liquid smoke but the rest is about the same. Rock salt can be substituted for the Hawaiian salt. The ti leaves help to keep the pork moist. Lucky for me I have ti growing in my yard. Anyone who does not have ti can omit it, or wrap the pork butt in moist cheesecloth and then place in the foil. Really onolicious with poi. Thanks for posting

<p>Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar. Mahalo nui loa! <br /><br />My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. <br />***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />**** ... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. <br />Thank you All for sharing!</p>
