We've made Kalua pork a few times, using a recipe Maggie found online. It's awesome and my mouth waters every time I think about it...

You take that big 'ol pork butt and cover it in a mixture of a couple tablespoons of liquid smoke and a couple tablespoons of coarse sea salt. Wrap it tightly in heavy duty foil and seal it good. Roast it in a slow (325) oven for about 5 hours. It shreds easily, and when it's shredded add another tablespoon or so of salt. It's easy and SO good! Find some really good liquid smoke to use for best results. I hear banana leaves can be had to wrap the pork in before you wrap in foil, but haven't tried it...
