Dont worry, most of us make regular stuff like that all the time. We post
our 'fancy' but not often our run of the mill.

Suggestion below if you have a crockpot?

Rest works for me!

Been doing the below for ages and finally MM'ed it.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Xxcarol's Porky Butt BBQ
Categories: Xxcarol, Pork, Crockpot
Yield: 12 Servings

4 lb Pork butt
1 ea Large sweet onion
16 oz Bottle BBQ sauce of choice

Call me simple, but why add water which you have to drain out? Made
no sense to me so I make mine this way.

Cut up roughly 1 large sweet onion, can be red or vidalia etc.
Regular will work but I like the sweet ones here. Layer this thick
on the bottom and add the roast pork part. Oh, doesnt have to be a
butt, just any sort will work but shoulder will have you need to
drain it more and take longer.

Turn the crockpot on low. When you think of it, flip the meat over.
When it starts to fall apart when you try to flip it (12 hours
roughly), remove and drain the liquid out. Put meat back in and
shred with fork, then add BBQ sauce and let warm about 1 hour. This
will keep really well for a party or potluck for 6 hours at least on
warm.
