Steps:
- Stud the roast with the cloves and rub with the Smokey BBQ Rub. Place the roast in a slow cooker and top with the onions. Cover the roast with 2 cups of water and slow cook for 8 to 10 hours. Remove the pork, discard the cloves and layer of fat, as well as any water and grease remaining in the pot. When the pork is cool enough to handle, use a fork or your hands to shred and pull the meat apart. Return the meat to the slow cooker along with the barbecue sauce. Heat for 1 to 2 hours. Serve on your favorite roll.
- Combine the granulated and brown sugars, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, mustard and cayenne in a bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
This recipe takes a good deal of time, but it yields a lot of sandwiches, more than enough for a sloppy, spicy dinner party feast. You'll roast a dry-rubbed pork shoulder in the oven until it's pull-apart tender, 3 or 4 hours that you can spend doing other things while your kitchen fills with the aroma of the cooking meat. Then you'll assemble a quick slaw and simmer a tangy barbecue sauce for about 10 minutes before putting it all out on the table with soft rolls. Serve the combination warm, at any time of the year, for a weekend project well worth an afternoon's work.

Steps:
- Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
- If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place pork in a baking pan and roast for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
- Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
- Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
- Serve pulled pork with slaw, buns and hot sauce on the side, letting people assemble their own sandwiches.

This is by far the best pulled pork sandwich I have made by far. Even though it takes such a long time to roast, and the basting process, it's well worth it!! This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe. This takes about 20 minutes active prep time, 4 hours and 30 minutes inactive prep time. and 7 Hours of cooking.

Steps:
- Submerse pork butt in a container of salty water. Place in refrigerator for 12 to 16 hours. Take pork butt out of water and pat dry. Discard brine.

- In the mean time make the cole slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots and minced onion. Combine the last seven ingredients and whisk. Stir into cabbage and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Place pork butt in oven heated to 250 degrees and cook until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees. About 10-12 hours. I start it before I go to bed.
- Carefully take pork butt out of cooking vessel and place on a cutting board. Reserve pan drippings.
- Cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 1/2 hour.
- Shred pork by pulling it with two forks. Place in serving dish and pour pan drippings (some or all) on the pork.
- Smack some pork on a bun, top it off with the cole slaw and enjoy.
Tips:
- For the best pulled pork, use a pork shoulder roast. This cut of meat is marbled with fat, which helps to keep it moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Slow-cook the pork shoulder roast on low heat. This allows the meat to cook evenly and develop a tender, fall-apart texture.
- Add a flavorful rub to the pork shoulder roast before cooking. This will help to create a delicious crust on the meat.
- Use a variety of spices in your rub. This will give the pulled pork a complex flavor.
- Baste the pork shoulder roast with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water during cooking. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the pulled pork rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pulled pork on soft buns or rolls. Top with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, barbecue sauce, and pickles.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a mouthwatering meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these pulled pork sandwiches a try.
