Slow Roasted Smoked Pork Shoulder - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 lbs smoked pork shoulder
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 tablespoon pepper
    3 tablespoons garlic powder
Preparation
    Turn oven on to 300.
    Place pork in lasagne pan fat side up. (can be placed on a rack,optional).
    Score fat lightly in a diamond pattern, not piercing through to the meat.
    Rub salt, pepper and garlic on the fat.
    Cover lightly with tin foil and roast for 3 hours, this gets the fat melting.
    Remove tin foil and reduce oven to 225.
    Continue roasting for 4 hours.
    Remove from oven and drain drippings if desired.
    Turn oven up to 450-500.
    Place pork back in oven until fat is crispy and browned, about 5-10mins.
    Remove from oven, lightly tent with tin foil and wait till cool enought to handle.
    Remove meat and tear apart with 2 forks.
    Toss with favorite BBQ sauce and serve on buns.
    *note* I've made this a 1000 times. Sometimes with aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage. Sometimes with a wet rub. Sometimes with fruit such as apples,peaches, or pineapple. I've never had one not turn out. I posted this recipe today because that's what in my oven. (big game on!).
    Enjoy!
