We eat a lot of bbq in the South and it's mostly pork here in Virginia with its proximity to North Carolina. I've found the easiest way to make pulled pork is with a Crock Pot. I highly recommend you get one.
Since it cooks for twelve hours, you can use pork butt, shoulder or roast...as long as it fits in the pot. I give mine a quick spice rub in olive oil, chopped garlic and a healthy dose of Garam Masala.
Take about a cup of bbq sauce, whatever you have around the house...KC Masterpiece works fine, miz it with about 2 cups of water. Mix it up and pour about a third into the pot then lay the pork in filling the pot with the rest of sauce until the meat is 2/3 covered. Set the temp to low and it it go for half a day. Once it's done, break apart with a fork and drain the sauce.
About a half an hour before you serve, make some cole slaw. I use green cabbage, purple cabbage and carrots in mine. Mix together a cup of mayo, 1/2 cup of sour cream, a dash of mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp of cider vinegar. Chop up a whole head of green cabbage, 1/4 head of purple and 3 carrots and add them to the mix. Let set for about a half hour.
Last thing to get is the buns. I go for potato rolls but regular hamburger buns work too.
Heat up a little extra bbq sauce from the bottle on the side and assemble the pulled pork sandwich by laying down a layer of meat, add a little sauce, top with the slaw and eat.
