- 3-4 lbs Pork Shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
- 1/2-1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 Tbsp Ribs Spice Rub (My recipe) or your favorite rub
- 1 Small Yellow Onion, halved and sliced
- 2 cups Barbecue Sauce, use your favorite
Optional
- 1-2 Tbsp Chipotles in Adobo, with some of the sauce (for a spicy, smoky flavor)
Add onion, barbecue sauce, and chipotle, if using. Stir.
Rub pork shoulder with the salt and the spice rub.
Place pork shoulder in the slow cooker with the fat side up.
Cook on Low for 9-10 hours, or High for 5-6 hours. If you can, stir the sauce about halfway through and turn the meat over. It will be fine if you don't.
After cooking, scrape off the fat layer and discard. Remove the meat to a large plate and shred it using two forks.
Skim some of the fat off of the top of the juices in the pot, using a large spoon. Return the meat to the crock and stir to combine with the juices. Add a little more bbq sauce if needed.
Serve on toasted burger buns.Top with my Easy Creamy Coleslaw.
