Recipe(tried): Old Carolina Barbecue Co. Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork (crock pot)

Main Dishes - Pork, Ham
OLD CAROLINA BARBECUE CO. SLOW-COOKER PULLED PORK
From Old Carolina Barbecue Co., Canton, OH

"Not everybody wants to stoke the charcoal grill in winter, but our taste for barbecue knows no season. This winter idea, from Old Carolina Barbecue Co. in Canton, OH hits the right notes anytime and translates handily to the demands of a busy cook -- or even a noncook. Just add your own sauce."

1 pork shoulder (or Boston butt), 5 or 6 pounds, preferably bone-in
1/4 cup Dry Pork Rub (recipe follows, or use your own)
2 tablespoons liquid smoke (optional)
1 bottle barbecue sauce (for serving) (suggested recipe below or use store bought)
Sandwich buns (for serving)

Rub pork generously with 1/4 cup rub. Place in slow cooker. Cover crock pot a cook 5-6 hours on HIGH setting or 8-10 hours on LOW until meat falls apart at the touch. (Cook pork shoulder to an internal temperature of 195 degrees F. This is the temperature it needs to break down and fall apart for pulling.)

TO PULL THE MEAT:
Remove from cooker, remove from bone and remove any remaining chunks of fat. Discard juices. Use two forks to shred the meat. Keep warm or refrigerate until use.

Serve on sandwich buns topped with sauce.
