Ingredients

3 tablespoons dry barbeque rub, or more as needed
1 (3 1/2) pound bone-in pork shoulder blade roast
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring, divided
1 cup water, divided
3/4 cup barbeque sauce, or as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 soft white hamburger buns
3/4 cup barbeque sauce, divided

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).
2

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

Roast pork in the preheated oven until very tender, 12 hours. Remove roast from Dutch oven, place 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.

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