Had a 10 pound pork butt and a 2 day rainstorm so couldn't smoke outside. Increased olive oil and seasoning a little to get a good coverage. Cooked the 30 min in a convection oven at 400 and then lowered the heat to 225 and cooked another 6.5 hours. I cooked it in a roasting pan with a v-rack and covered the pan in foil. It was not to the point that it would have been easy to shred but it sliced beautifully and was extremely moist and flavorfull.
Leftovers will be made into cuban sandwiches and pulled pork sandwiches.

This was great! Yes, I think you do need to increase the cooking time for a larger roast, and keep that bone in there. The meat up against the bone is the best part.
I think the reveiwer who made it too salty may have added Garlic SALT and Onion SALT to the creole seasoning instead of garlic and onion POWDER. That would definitely make it quite salty. A good rule of thumb is to never buy seasoning mixes that already contain salt. Read the ingredients. Buy your salt separately. It is more economical, and much easier to control the salt content when you add it yourself.
I highly recommend this.

Having never been a fan of pork roast I was pleasantly surprised on how good this was, Super easy to make to! If not use to hot spicy food (like us I would cut the cayenne pepper in half, other then that this was great and i know i will cook it often.
