Place gloves on hands, if using. Sprinkle all of the seasoning on the roast evenly, both sides. Rub into the meat. Repeat the process with the liquid smoke. Place the meat in a large roasting pan, or if you don't have one use a 9 x 13 pan. Remove the gloves and discard.
Chop the onions, and throw over the meat. Pour the water into the pan. Make sure not to pour over the meat, or you will wash away the flavorings. Cover the meat with foil. Seal to edges of pan, so steam won't escape. Place in oven and cook for 3 hours at 325 degrees .
You can remove at this time, but I like to turn the oven off, and just let it sit in the oven for another couple of hours. Do not open the oven until ready to remove. When ready to serve, pull away excess fat, and either chop or pull pork apart with forks. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side.
For the BBQ Sauce:
Heat all ingredients in pan on stove. Add more sugar, hot sauce or garlic according to your taste.
Notes
-Serve with hamburger buns, or white bread slices.-great side dishes are : (click here) coleslaw, baked beans and potato salad. -After cooking the meat- Don't cut the meat and "mix" with bbq sauce. It will get mushy and have that yucky consistency of frozen bbq meat. Just carefully lay the meat in a pan or serving platter and pour a little sauce over the top.-You can substitute honey for the sugar. If you like onions in your sauce, saute half of a chopped onion and add to the mixture.-Without onions, this will keep in the refrigerator for at least a month.
