I’ve seen a recipe for oven Kalua pork that called for a pork butt roast. That might work but Kalua pig is always done skin on. The skin and fat give it flavor. I backtracked this recipe from a full on, Imu cooked, Kalua pig (posted) and it’s as close as you’ll get without digging a hole in the ground.
