This is an excellent roast! I made a 2# roast and seasoned accordingly. I've never added water and covered a roast before but the technique worked beautifully. The roast was extremely juicy and very flavorful (loved the liquid smoke). There wasn't any left to shred.

This was just wonderful! Our son and family are here for a visit and they brought a pork shoulder from their local butcher shop. I followed your recipe exactly and cooked it for 2.5 hours. It was just fall apart tender and the aroma was to die for. Thanks for this recipe, it is a definite keeper.

My family loved it! Very tender and juicy. Very easy to make. I used misquite liquid smoke, next time I'll try the hickory.

This was absolutely great and sooo easy. I didn't have an onion, and the only other thing I did different was to add one quarter teaspoon of ground cumin to the mix. There was nothing left for sandwiches!!!

Yummy!!! Be ready to entice your nose with the savory smell as it cooks and your tummy when it's finished! This is the best pork shoulder I've ever tasted - we used the hickory liquid smoke - wouldn't change a thing!!!

I have been making "The Lady and Son's" recipe for awhile now and it is delicious! I am glad you posted this Rick it is so good. In the printed out version of the recipe on tvfn, the salt mixture is enough for multiple roasts, she says to store it in a jar, but I always just make enough for one.

The roast came out very tender, but on the salty side. Next time I think I will omit the regular salt and see how it goes. But, great flavor and the Liquid Smoke made the whole house smell good!

This was wonderful. I used hickory liquid smoke. I will make this again but with mesquite. I cooked this on a snow in day and boy did it fill the house with a wonderful aroma. Thanks so much.

Well we have a winner in this recipe!! I hadn't made a shoulder in ages. I also had never cooked with liquid smoke. My children were a bit concerned when the smell first started going through the house. But the end result was to everyones liking. Thanks for sharing Rick.

This was pretty good..I usually cook pork roast in the crock-pot, but this was an easy alternative...The only thing I did different was to shred the roast then add Velveeta to it and cook it through....It thickened up the sauce and made for a meal that could easily stay on my toddlers fork....Thanks
