Fill crock pot about 3/4 full of water, turn on high and let cook for 6-8 hours or until meat is falling off the bone.   My roast is frozen, if cooking a roast that is not frozen it will be done in about 4-6 hours of slow cooking.   When done cook rice or gain and serve with roast and veggies over the rice or grain and enjoy!
