Method

Salt the shoulder generously on all sides. Refrigerate uncovered overnight if possible.
Heat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Set the pork fat side up in a roasting pan.
Roast for 6 to 7 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 195 to 203°F (90 to 95°C) and the bone wiggles free.
Rest loosely covered for 30 minutes.
Pull the meat into chunks with two forks, discarding the bone. Toss with the pan drippings.
