Chef John's Pulled Pork BBQ

Recipesfull introduces to you: Sandwich Recipes. (Chef John's Pulled Pork BBQ). Use your favorite dry rub and barbeque sauce to make this succulent pork. A little trick I like is to put 2 ramekins with liquid smoke flavoring in with the meat and roast it slowly. Do your patriotic American duty and serve this on the cheapest, lightest white hamburger buns you can find.
