I've been putting it in the crock pot over night with rotel, a can of soda or beer, and whatever spices I have on hand. Comes out like pulled pork. What else ya got?

Sliced into pork steaks & grilled.
Cut into chunks & cooked in lard/OJ for carnitas.

How does that turn out? Seems like the fat would be chewy? Is it like a fatty pork chop?

Key would be not to slice it too thick. They sell pork steaks in the meat section of all stores and it's just thinly sliced pork shoulder.

Season how you want and cook fast and high on a grill or in a pan. Comes out like a giant, juicy pork chop.

Cut small pockets in the meat. Stuff the pockets with chopped garlic and green onions and your favorite seasonings. Put on smoker. When done, slice and put on your favorite sandwich rolls. Delicious!

Pretty much. I usually sauce them with BBQ sauce or Jack Miller's during cooking.

I season it really good, put in a pot, cover it with water and about 2lbs of onions and let it cook till the bone falls out. Take it out let it cool a little and then remove the bone and big chunks of fat. Put it back in the pot and cook it till it falls apart adding water as necessary.

My MawMaw made her pork roast like that. I've made pork roast for parties and people always how I make it. I tell them and they dont believe me.

rice n gravy.

Season and stuff roast with garlic.
Brown roast on all sides for a good hour. remove from pot.
brown trinity.
add some chicken broth and scratch the bottom of the pot to get all the "grimese" up. Keep in there cause that's what makes a good gravy.
put browned roast back in pot with browned trinity and broth.
cover and cook for another 2 hours on medium.
Stir and add broth / water as needed until tender.

serve over white rice and a side of smothered cabbage

Of course smoked.

Second favorite is to cut slits in it, hit them with some salt and pepper, stuff with a garlic clove, piece of green onion and a sprig of parsley.

Liberally season the outside with salt and pepper, brown the outside heavily in my cast iron pan and then pop in the oven covered to cook for about 3 hours at 300 degrees. Comes out fork tender.

I slice in to ~.75 inch thick steaks. I liberally coat with morton tender quick and throw it in a ziploc. I refrigerate for about 6 hours. I then rinse it well and season it heavily with tony's no salt blend. I used to try and mix my own cajun seasoning for it but I like the tony's. I then smoke at 180 degrees until the IT is 155.

Some of the Bubba's on this site are slow on the uptake and things have to be drawn out for them.
