As far as luaus go... find one where they still do the Emu... mmm the succulence...
Crockpots work... but IMHO... suck! I vastly prefer to have grilled/smoked meats vs. meat that 'falls off the bone'... I like to use my teeth
Crockpots do assist in reducing the net cooking/prep time, it just is not the same as a flame licking or smoke searing the meat...
