Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, combine the pork, garlic, vinegar and peppercorns and add enough water to cover. Bring liquid to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface. Simmer, partially covered, for about three hours, or until very tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the vinegar, pepper and salt in a covered container, shaking vigorously to blend.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, discarding the liquid. Place pork on the rack of a roasting pan, and baste thoroughly with the spicy sauce. Baste every 15 minutes or so, turning the meat after 1 1/2 hours. It should roast for a total of about three hours with constant basting, so it does not dry out. The fat should be crisp.
- Remove pork from the oven, chop very finely with a large knife, and sauce again. The mixture should be moist, but not soupy. Serve warm, with cole slaw and white bread.

Tips:
- Use a good quality pork shoulder. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the meat.
- Make sure your smoker or grill is at the correct temperature before adding the pork. The ideal temperature for smoking pork is between 225°F and 250°F.
- Apply a rub to the pork shoulder before cooking. This will help to add flavor and keep the meat moist.
- Smoke the pork shoulder for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F. The meat should be fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Let the pork shoulder rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the pork shoulder with your favorite barbecue sauce.
