American Pork Barbecue

1 (5-pound )boneless pork butt (shoulder roast)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Combine all seasonings in a small bowl and rub evenly over roast.
2. Prepare a medium fire, banked, in covered grill. Position pork over a drip pan, add about 1/2 inch water or apple juice to drip pan. Grill over indirect heat for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until pork is very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain a grill temperature of about 300°F (150°C), but avoid opening grill often.
3. Remove pork to large cutting board or platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice or chop to serve.
