I use a bone in pork shoulder (about 4 or 5 pound piece) to make pulled pork. It's a fattier cut than loin, excellent for slow cooking.

Coincidentally, I am about to cook one USA southern states style, with chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, brown sugar, cider vinegar. About 7 hours in a slow cooker.

The pork shoulder can be made Mexican style, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in a slow cooker. That's a good choice in summer, as it can be plugged in outdoors to avoid heating up the oven. But of course at this time of year heating up the kitchen is a good thing. Seasonings include Seville orange juice, achiote seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, chile seco (may substitute hot paprika.)

Extras freeze very well.
