| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 2 | Prepare Roast: Rub the pork shoulder roast generously on all sides with liquid smoke. |
| 3 | Season Mixture: In a bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well. |
| 4 | Season Roast: Add 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mixture to the seasoned salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on all sides of the roast. Use your discretion; you may not need to use it all. |
| 5 | Prepare Pan: Place the seasoned roast in a large roasting pan or Dutch oven. Add the onion, water (pour around the roast, not over it), and bay leaves. |
| 6 | Cook: Cover the pan and place it in the preheated oven. Allow the roast to cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 7 | Rest: Remove the roast from the oven and the pan. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. |
| 8 | Slice or Shred: Slice the meat or shred it as desired, whether for sandwiches or pulled pork. A combination of both sliced and pulled works wonderfully. |
| 9 | Serve: Serve the delicious roasted pork shoulder on bread or buns with your favorite BBQ sauce or coat the bread/buns with mayonnaise for added flavor. |
