I do it frequently.
Start by rubbing your Boston Butt generously on all sides with Doc's Loin Rub (recipe below).
Place butt in roasting pan, use a rack if you have it to keep the meat off the bottom of the pan. Pour in a small amount of water, no more than half an inch or so. Cover with lid or aluminum foil. DO NOT USE PLASTIC WRAP! Place in a cold oven.
Turn oven on at 250*F and leave it 10 to 12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches not less than 165* F if you want to slice the meat, or let the temperature reach 200* F if you want to make pulled pork.
When the internal temperature reaches 200*F, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minute. Remove the bone and pull pork apart with two forks. Pour a generous amount of Virginia's Barbecue Sauce (recipe below) over the meat. Stir well. Reheat if necessary and serve. It makes great sandwiches.

It will depend on the roast and what you want, but very soft, fall of the bone type - say on a 4 lb roast - that would be about 8 hours at 250. You want low and slow. I usually rub spices on it the night before and then take the roast out an hour before I put it in the oven to get the chill off (my kitchen is cool).
