A pork shoulder can be marinated for up to 5 days in the fridge, put
it in a large zip-loc with a marinade of your choice and turn it every
day... set in a bowl just in case it springs a leak. I do this all
the time with pork loins and spare/country ribs. I typically use a
citrusy oriental flavored marinade... I don't care for the typical
smokey tex-mex flavor common for BBQ sauce.
