Pork Butts are very fatty and unless they are "boneless" have many bones. I have never prepared one as a roast as I prefer the pork loin for that purpose. I always just cover my Pork Butt with water in the crockpot and cook until completely done and falling off the bones. Usually around 8 or 9 hours. I then cool the meat and debone and remove all fat. Then I put it back in the crock pot - all previous water/drippings removed - with a chopped up onion and about a bottle of a favorite barbecue sauce - or your own homemade. I rinse the bottle (barbecue sauce) with a little water and add that to the crockpot. I cook the meat for about 4 to 6 hours on low - can turn it up a little if you watch it closely. I then serve the meat with slaw and/or baked beans, some very good dill pickles (I like the thin slices with it) and usually bake some really good yeast rolls to serve with it. Some times - when I want to be a bit "fancier" with the menu - I buy the small croissants to serve with the barbecue pork. They add a "touch of elegance" - and are very good. My family and friends love this dish!

This recipe has been a real ‘keeper’ at our house.  The meat practially melts in your mouth. I’ve made this recipe probably 100 times!

 

Pork Carnitas

 

1  pork roast (4 to 5 pounds), cut into large chunks (I use a pork shoulder butt)

6 large garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

3 large oranges, divided

1 large lemon

 

Oil for frying

Warm flour tortillas

Shredded cheddar cheese

Salsa

Guacamole

 

Place meat in a large crock pot. Sprinkle with garlic and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from one orange and the lemon over the meat. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours. With a slotted spoon, remove meat and drain well. The recipe says heat oil in a skillet fry the pork, but I usually just fry it without any oil. My husband likes it when the meat gets a little crispy. Serve it warm with the condiments mentioned above.

Never cooked my pork roast in a crock pot but this sounds soooo good.  Also corn tortillas are actually better with these kinds of shredded briskets and pork but most people use flour. I like to fry my corn tortillas and then I  blot off the excess oil.  

I salt and pepper the butt well. I slow cook it (Weber Grill) over charcoal with the coals located on the side away from the butt and the vent located on the side with the roast. I add a few soaked wood chips or freshly cut apple twigs to the coals about every 30 minutes or so, and I add a few briquets every hour or so by dropping then through one of the slots in the rack which I position above the coals. I turn the roast a couple of times during cooking. Cook for 8-12 hours or until the meat falls apart easily. Cool a bit and shred. Add your favorite BBQ sauce and enjoy! I usually do 3 butts at a time, shred them and vacuum seal the shredded meat. When we want BBQ we take a pack out and heat it and the sauce together. A quick and easy meal that is wonderful. Note: make certain you situate a pan beneath the grill to catch the drippings which will be considerable.

A retired co-worker used to prepare butt roasts and bring to work for potlucks.  I have made similar recipes but with loins.   Anyway, she would add garlic, pepper and dill and cook the roast for quite sometime in the oven.  Make sure enough juice is available during that time period.  Eventually break apart and remove any undesired fat, and return to a baking dish with some liquid (or liquid from the saurkraut). She then would add saurkraut, little chunked fresh cabbage and some barley (not a lot as it will grow & absorb).  You may add some small potatoes (peeled or the skins on), too.   Mix together and bake @ 350'. 

BBQing is fantastic too.  Many others have offered you their recipe.  I will add that I commonly will cook much of liquid out of the roasts before i add bbq sauce, otherwise it will make it too liquidy.   Some extra moist with the sauce is okay though. 

 

It all sounds terrific.
