Traditionally they wrapped well in wet leaves of the Ti plant and slow cooked until it steamed apart.[Shoulder or butt]
You could oven cook in foil and get close.
Banana leaves will work on butts.
In the whole hog pits they would layer bottom with hot rocks,Ti leaves,pig,Ti leaves,hot rocks,wet burlap.
Most are pretty disappointed,after they have had decent pulled pork.
Drinking the fermented distilled juice of the Ti plant makes it taste better.
It is something like Okoleehau liquor.
Emeril on the Food channel probably has his approach,coating it with essence.
Hope this helps a little.

My first spoke went great. I didn't try anything tricky.. I put the "cookshack pork rub" on the butt the night before. I put the pork butt in the smoker at 5:30 am (used a small piece of wood), got home, checked it at 4:30 pm with my Taylor probe it was at 180 or so... I got the temp up to 195 by 5:30 pm, took it out, double wraped it in foil for 30 min, Pulled, and served with some sauce on some white hamburger rolls.... There wasnt much bark, but it was GREAT! It was a big hit.
cool glad to hear that keep up the good work. jeff
How did yours turn out?
Jeff,
You can get plenty of bark in a CS, my thought would be if there wasn't a little sugar in the rub, then you'll only get a little bark from the actual smoke itself.
Take a 50% to 50% mix of rub to turbinado sugar (also called sugar in the raw). It's granular like kosher salt and last a little longer. Brown sugar is okay, but for me, it darkens too much.

I haven't had time to go through my recipes, but check this out, see if it's close and modify for your smoker...Emeril doesn't have a CS for this recipe

No offense to the Luau fans, but I'd take a Memphis Pig Pickin Party over a Luau anyday!!!! As long as the Budweiser is ice cold and the Jagermeister is even colder!!!!
