6      pounds        pork butt
   1      large         onion -- diced
   4      tablespoons   ground New Mexican chile
   1      tablespoon    cumin seed -- roasted and ground
   2      teaspoons     granulated garlic
   1      teaspoon      dry oregano
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      black pepper
          to cover      water
Smoke the pork butt with your favorite wood at a low temperature for about
three hours. You might even consider boning it and cutting it in two
pieces. The idea here is to get the smoke flavor and not to cook it till it
is tender. Once you think you have plenty of smoke on the butt, transfer it
to a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high
heat. Reduce the heat to a hard simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for
about 2 hours. When stirring, stir hard, trying to break the pork up. When
the water is gone, but there is still plenty of moisture, the pork is
done.
