Category: Crockpot Sandwiches
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

PORK:
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
pinch celery seeds
1 7-lb boneless pork shoulder
10-12 buns

BASTING SAUCE:
3 cups cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp dry mustard powder
2 Tbsp packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the pork, in a small bowl, stir together the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and celery seeds. Using your fingers, rub the spice mixture all over the pork to coat evenly. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag or a covered bowl; refrigerate overnight.
For the basting sauce, in a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; simmer for 3 minutes. Let sauce cool; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place a rack inside a large roasting pan; place the pork on the rack. Roast for 2.5 hrs; pour half of the sauce over the pork. Bake for 1-2 hrs more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 180 degrees F, basting pork every 30 minutes with sauce and drippings from the bottom of the pan.
Remove pork from the oven and let stand on the rack until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, warm the remaining sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Transfer the warm pork to a cutting board and shred or chop the meat into bite-size pieces, mixing in some of the fat and skin. Transfer pork to a large bowl; add sauce to taste and mix well.
Serve the pork on buns with Down-Home Coleslaw, passing any remaining sauce on the side.

10-12 servings
