Prepare the pork picnic shoulder by noting the skin on it, which will keep it moist during cooking.

Chop garlic, rosemary, and sage together in a chopper.

Add avocado oil to the roast and rub it to coat.

Poke holes in the roast to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.

Rub the marinade mixture into the holes and over the surface of the roast, ensuring it is well coated.

Salt the roast generously, working the salt into the meat along with the marinade.

Place the roast in a vessel, flesh side down and skin side up, to protect the meat during cooking.

Preheat the cooker to 285°F (140°C) and cook the roast for about 5 hours until it is fork tender and pulling apart.
