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