This recipe is perfect for a party. I made it for a potluck and it was a huge hit. The pork was gone in no time. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The pork shoulder takes a while to cook, but it's so tender and flavorful when it's done. I like to make it on the weekend when I have more time.

I'm a big fan of pulled pork and this recipe is one of my favorites. The pork is always so tender and juicy, and the sauce is amazing. I like to serve it on a bun with coleslaw and pickles.

I'm not a big fan of barbecue sauce, but the sauce for this recipe was really good. It wasn't too sweet or tangy.

This recipe is a bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I just used less cayenne pepper than the recipe called for.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork shoulder. I had some leftover from a party and I used it to make this dish. It was just as good as when I made it with fresh pork shoulder.
