I always do mine in a Carolina style, but in a slow cooker because I live in an apartment and I don't have access to a grill or smoker. I developed my recipe based on this one: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/north-carolina-pulled-pork-242247

Give the meat a generous dry rub consisting of kosher salt, black pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, ancho chili powder(helps with the lack of smoking in this method), paprika(I don't bother with doing both hot and sweet, you can use whatever kind you want), celery seed, and mustard powder. Wrap it up tight in plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator at least 3 hours, preferably 8 like Epicurious said to. I deviate a lot from the recipe here by just broiling the meat in the over to develop a crust. I do about 30 minutes on each side. Set aside the meat to rest, and get your slow cooker ready by slicing some apples and sweet onions, then tossing them in with about a cup or so of apple cider vinegar, a heavy dash of liquid smoke, and 2 crushed garlic cloves. Add the pork and the drippings from the broiling pan, then cook on low for 8 hours. Shred that shit in the slow cooker with a fork and knife, serve hot on toasted hamburger buns topped with slaw and vinegar sauce.

The recipe for said sauce is pretty simple. 2 cups apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon parsley flakes, and 1 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce. Combine it all in a bottle, shake it up until the sugar and salt is dissolved, and let it sit in the fridge for a day.
