My cousin-in-law (is that right?) is from hawaii and made some for us recently. His recipe was basically the same as this:
http://gohawaii.about.com/od/luaurecipes/r/kalua_pig.htm
4-5 lb pork butt, boneless
some hawaiian salt
about 2 tablespoons liquid smoke - enough to rub all over the pork
Heavy duty aluminum foil (no banana or ti leaves, to make it easy)
wrap the pork really tight
As the recipe says, 45 minutes per pound until the temp is ok in the middle (160 for pork?)
He left all the fat on during cooking, but you can remove quite a bit before shredding it.

After cooking, you can add more salt to taste if needed.
