INGREDIENTS

  • Seasoning

    • 3 tablespoons dry barbecue rub, or more as needed

  • Meat

    • 1 (3 1/2 pound) bone-in pork shoulder blade roast

  • Flavoring

    • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring, divided

  • Liquid

    • 💧 1 cup water, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).

2

Sprinkle dry rub generously on all sides of the pork roast and place into a Dutch oven or heavy pot.

3

Divide liquid smoke between two 6-ounce ramekins and fill each with 1/2 cup water. Place ramekins in Dutch oven on either side of the roast and cover.

4

Roast in the preheated oven until very tender, about 12 hours. Transfer roast onto a work surface, such as a cutting board, and separate the meat from the bone using your fingers. Discard any large pieces of fat.

5

Roughly chop pork with a large knife or cleaver. Drizzle with 3/4 cup barbecue sauce and season with salt and black pepper.

6

Spread about 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce onto each bun and pile on pork to serve.
