I would think at least 8-10 hours, but don't put veggies in until the last hour. I would put a package or two of dry onion soup on the roast when you put it on. It gives it so much flavor.

First,brown it in a large pan on the stove.Put a little vegetable oil in the pan,add two or three onions,chopped,and let them saute for a few minutes,then add the roast and three cloves of garlic,chopped.Sprinkle the roast with black pepper and Lawry's seasoned salt. Brown on both side. Move it around in the pan so the onions and garlic won't burn.When it's nice and brown,transfer the meat to the crock pot,then deglaze the hot pan with some canned beef broth ( about a cup or two of broth) and stir to loosen the browned bits. Pour it over the roast,onions and all. For a roast that big,I would start it at about 9:00 a.m. and cook for about 8 hours.Add the potatoes and carrots after the roast has cooked for about 5 hours.

Do leave the bone in your roast, as the bone gives the roast a lot of flavor.
Lightly flour all sides of your roast and brown all sides in about four tablespoons of bacon grease in a large dutch oven. When roast is browned, add enough water to cover the roast and bake in a 350 degree oven for two hours. Check tenderness of roast. If not done to tenderness desired, add more water, and bake for another hour. Check again. If roast is beginning to come to desired tenderness, add potatoes and carrots, and bake for another 45 minutes. Check tenderness of potatoes and carrots. If done to desired consistency, remove from oven.
I really don't think you can cook a 9 lb pot roast, to any degree of tenderness, in less than five hours in a conventional oven. I don't know how many hours you would need to cook a 9 lb pot roast in a crock pot.

That is a big hunk of meat! I would brown the roast, then use moist heat. After browning, either cook all day in a slow cooker, or bake, covered, in a heavy pot, like a dutch oven, in a 300 degree oven for 5 to 6 hours. Add the vegetables the last hour. If you use the slow cooker, wave the veggies to start them and put them on the bottom, then the roast on top. If you use the oven, check it after 4 hours, and test to see if it's fork tender. You can cover it with sauteed onions and garlic, or some onion soup mix before roasting. Take the meat and veggies out and pour the juices into a clear container, to remove the fat. Thicken the gravy, or not. I like to slice or shred the leftovers and use it for barbeque beef sandwiches, or burritos.
Good luck!

I would cook this in the oven. A roast that big would take at least 10 hours in a crock pot even if it would fit. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 5 hours. Use a heavy pot or dutch oven and add beef broth for moistness and flavor. Add vegetables the last two hours.
