Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to make the dry rub.

Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid, and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 6

Roast for 6-7 hours, or until the pork is so tender it pulls apart easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat.

Step 9

Mix the shredded pork with your barbecue sauce, stirring until the pork is thoroughly coated.

Step 10

If you prefer, warm the barbecue sauced pork gently over low heat until heated through.
