Steps:
- For the roast pork: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cinnamon and cumin to make a dry rub. Massage the rub over the pork, making sure to rub it in between the scored fat cap. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the oven rack in the middle position.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pork and place in a Dutch oven with a lid. Cover and place in the oven to roast for 3 hours. After 3 hours, uncover and cook for another 45 minutes to brown the fat and cook until the pork registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes.
- For the sandwich build: Using two forks or your hands, pull apart the warm pork. Toss with the Chile Sauce. Butter and toast the buns until golden brown. Place ample quantities of pork on the bottom bun and top with Grilled Pineapple Relish and shredded red cabbage. Do your best hula dance and enjoy.
- Bring the vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt and garlic to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt dissolve. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, and then set aside until the pork is ready. Right before you toss in the pork, remove the smashed garlic cloves.
- Preheat a grill pan or grill over high heat. Rub the grill with a bit of oil and grill each side of the pineapple slices until dark grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes a side. Roughly chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with the cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeno and onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Shredded Pork Sandwiches:
- Choose the right pork shoulder: Look for a pork shoulder with good marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Prepare the pork shoulder properly: Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, leaving a thin layer to help keep the meat juicy. Season the shoulder liberally with a dry rub, ensuring that all sides are evenly coated.
- Cook the pork shoulder slowly and low: For tender and flavorful pulled pork, cook the shoulder at a low temperature (around 225°F) for an extended period of time (at least 8 hours). This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Shred the pork correctly: Once the pork shoulder is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before shredding. Use two forks to pull the meat apart, discarding any large pieces of fat.
- Make a flavorful sauce: Combine a variety of ingredients, such as ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices, to create a tangy and flavorful sauce for the pulled pork sandwiches.
- Toast the buns: Toasted buns will add a crispy texture to your sandwiches and help hold all the ingredients together. Brush the buns with melted butter or olive oil before grilling or toasting them.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place a generous helping of pulled pork on each toasted bun. Top with a drizzle of sauce, coleslaw, and pickles. Serve immediately.
