Being born and raised in Hawaii, I hope I can help you out. At the same time, the info that I have for you would make almost any hard-core Quer nauseous. I can hardly believe that I am admitting this, but here goes.

Crock pot...a large one. You should be able to get two 8lb butts in one of the big ones. If that doesnt work (or you dont have a crock pot) double wrap in foil, place 2 butts in a full pan and into the oven at 300.

No need to inject, kalua pork is remarkably simple. Rock salt and......I can't believe I'm saying this....liquid smoke. Hickory flavored liquid smoke is best if you can find it.

2T of liquid smoke liberally rubbed into the meat and 2T of Rock Salt rubbed all over each butt. If the butt is enhanced, cut the Rock Salt down to 1T and 1t.

Cook one up at home and adjust your flavor profile from there.

Best of luck!
