Start with this.
Slice through the fat in a cross hatch pattern.

Into here for five hours at 350. 2 ½ foiled and 2 ½ foil removed

Looks great :) A list of ingredients with amounts would be helpful. Newbies might not be able to identify the herbs, much less put together the marinade.
 
Mojo marinade is easy to make and done once it easy to experiment with.

I usually use the following:
Wet Adobo marinade (MOJO)
20 cloves of fresh garlic peeled
2 packets Sazon Goya
1 tablespoon Goya adobo seasoning
1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 cups fresh orange juice
2 cups fresh lime juice
1 bunch of fresh oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 bunch of fresh thyme

Apply Mojo, wrap tightly and put it in the fridge for 24 hours.

The key isSazon Goya, theGoya adobo seasoning, garlic and citrus.

And the cut of meat is? I'd guess it could be done in the oven? Looks and sounds just scrumptious and thank you!
Fresh ham is preferred, shoulder picnic or boston butt. You just have to reduce the roasting time per size of meat

Of course in the oven but you will not have the wood flavoring a pit provides.:)
