Method

1
Mix the rub: brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper.
2
Pat pork shoulder dry; coat thoroughly with the rub and rest in the fridge a few hours (or overnight).
Overnight is best, but even 1 hour helps.
3
Place pork in a slow cooker; add a splash of vinegar to the bottom.
4
Cook on low for 8 hours until the meat shreds at a touch.
You want the connective tissue completely broken down.
5
Lift pork out, shred with two forks, and discard excess fat.
6
Toss shredded pork with BBQ sauce; pile onto buns and serve.
A spoonful of cooking liquid keeps it moist.
