Ingredients
  

  • 1 5-pound pork butt roast
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 ounces liquid smoke
  • barbecue sauce of choice for serving
  • Coleslaw with mustard and apples

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven or roaster oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
  • Place onion, water, and bay leaves in the bottom of the roaster pan.
  • In a small bowl, add salt, sugar, paprika, celery salt, cornstarch, onion and garlic powder, and cayenne pepper and mix well with a fork.
  • Place pork butt onto the rack inside the roasting pan. Pour 2 ounces of liquid smoke over one side of the roast. Massage 1/2 of the dry mixture into the roast. Repeat the process on the other side of the roast. Place in the oven until thermometer reads 170 degrees Farenheit (usually 2 hours).
