There is a simpler way to do all of this. Not quite as entertaining, but effective.

This also assumes you are dealing with roasts, or that your "pig" is small enough to fit in your oven.

1) Rub your pork with your favorite seasoning.
2) Wrap multiple times (5-6) with white butcher paper.
3) Cover entire package with butcher-type elastic webbing (I can't remember what it is called - but they use it to hold roasts together). This holds the wrapping together and seals in the moisture.
4) Place in oven and bake 1/2 hour per pound at 250 degrees.

You can also smoke the meat for an hour first if you like. The paper seals in the moisture much like the big leaves they use for Kalua pork. Works great. Very tender and moist.
