A few weeks ago I did this with a Boston butt, which is larger.
Pork picnic roast (shoulder), bone in, deskinnned and trimmed excess fat, make sure you leave some for flavor and moisture.
Rub:
Onion powder, minced garlic, pepper, Montreal season, rosemary, brown sugar.
Coat pig with olive oil.
Cradle meat.
Lather on the rub.
Baking glass, spray with nonstick
Cut whole onion 1/2" thick.
Layer onion (about 8 slices) on bottom
Place roast on top
Oven hot at 425, bake 20 minutes
Down to 300 until 175 in thickest part
About 3-4 hours
With chili mayo corn
Biscuits
The gravy is caramelized onion sweet/salty.
Cut pork, drizzle on top.
Leftovers?
Debone pork, pull apart with hands. Put gravy and pork in separate containers.
Next night, put pork in saucepan. Hear and pull with fork. Add leftover gravy to Desired consistency. Grab a bun.
You now have pulled pork sandwiches.
This is a hit with everyone.

Lot of people are unsure of how to do a picnic roast... your recipe should put the pork newbie at ease. Great job:thumbup:

I just saw this posted, but I just made almost this same recipie for a party this last weekend and it was killer. We had pulled pork sandwiches for the party on Sat, and used the leftovers for pork enchiladas for Cinco de Mayo.

What I did that was different from this is as follows:

I cooked at 250 degrees for about 8 hours, until the meat temp hit 190 to make it easy to shred. I also added thick onion slices on the top of the meat. These onions got crispy and added good flavor to the meat. Lastly, I added about 1/2 inch of beer in the bottom the pan that the meat was in.

Good stuff and I will be making this again.

No problem with that. If you look at Cajun's picture of the meat in the pan in post 9, I added beer to about the top of the onions. I didn't do anything with the liquid in the pan after everything was done cooking, I just used the meat.

I know it's not the same as smoking, but it was pretty easy and turned out tasty.
