I had a 7.86 pound pork shoulder butt roast. I roasted it at 400 for 40 minutes and 7 hours at 250. It fell apart and was so tender! I open roasted. The only change would be to not salt the roast. Not even lightly which is what I did and find a low sodium seasoning because the creole seasoning is plenty salty. I also used extra virgin olive oil.
