Easy to prepare in the oven, in lieu of using an outdoor smoker. However, an outdoor grill to start the pork cooking process is key to get a slight smoked taste. This meal yields enough for a small group gathering.

Steps

1

Prepare the pork (trim fat, remove rind). Cover the meat with dry rub seasonings and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour (covered).
2

Use an outdoor grill and add wood chips for smoking when grilling the meat. Sear on all sides for 5-6 minutes. Or if indoors, use a large frying pan with oil and sear in the pan.
3

Heat oven to 300˚. Transfer the meat to a large pot with lid (oven proof) and add the onion, braising liquid ingredients, and seasonings. Cover and place in the oven to slow cook for 3.5 hours.
4

When done cooking, carefully remove the meat from the pan and place on a large cutting board surface. Allow to cool and then shred using two forks. Lightly chop large pieces crosswise.
5

Place the shredded pork in a casserole pan with reserved pan juices (1/2 cup), lightly top with BBQ sauce, cover with foil and place back into the now cooling oven for 10 minutes.
6

Remove from oven and lightly mix the pork. Place the pork on open buns / rolls and top with other favorite toppings (slaw, pickle, etc.) and enjoy.
