Although I love Chicago, there is no room for a pit in my condo. So, I adapt. I have used this recipe often with various pork cuts, but I think the bone in shoulder gives the best finished product. The 9 hour cooking time may vary. Try not to open the oven when cooking as this will allow heat to escape. I use a digital probe thermometer to keep track of internal temperature. I have found this is an excellent recipe to leave overnight. http://www.grouprecipes.com/41424/slow-roasted-pork-shoulder.html
