Regarding BBQ Inc.
Barbecue is all about the smoke. While you could put your pork roast in the oven to cook low and slow, without the smoke you will not get the right flavor and texture to make real barbecue.

Maintain a good smoking temperature around 225 degrees F. with a good, smoky fire. Refer to your smokers operating manual for information about your specific smoker. It will take about 1 to 1 1/4 hours per pound of meat to smoke your pork roast. Make sure you have plenty of time because under cooking will give you tough meat that just isn't barbecue.

During the smoking you may choose to apply a mop. A mop will help add moisture to the surface of the meat while it cooks and help add additional flavor.
