Steps:
- Rinse roast and remove as much fat from the outside as is practical.
- Dry the roast and slather with mustard.
- Add enough rub to cover the roast evenly (don't be stingy).
- Using hands, rub the spices and mustard into the roast on all sides.
- Place 1 1/2 inch balls of aluminum foil in a 4 or 5 quart crock pot to raise the roast above liquids that will collect in the pot.
- Place the roast into the crock pot and set on low.
- Cook the roast until it is 190 to 200F internal temperature.
- During the cook, the liquids collected may be removed and chilled for defatting.
- Depending on how "hot" your crock pot cooks, this may take 8 to 12 hours on low or 5 to 8 hours on high. I recommend using temperature rather than time.
- Another indication of doneness is to try to remove the blade bone by hand. If it can be easily removed, it is done.
- Rest the roast until it can pulled apart by hand or with forks. Remove fat as you pull the pork.
- Wet the roast with a portion of the defatted juices and mix.
- Serve with your favorite sauce, applied on the side or on top for sandwiches.

SLOW-SMOKED PULLED PORK (BOSTON BUTT)
This simple yet effective Boston butt recipe gives the pulled pork a mildly spicy and tangy flavor. The combination of smoke and moisture from the drip pan works very well for cooking the meat evenly and leaves plenty of juices within the meat itself. I've tried several different methods with Boston butt and this one is my favorite, as well as a favorite among my friends. Give it a try and see if you like it, and please don't be shy and leave some feedback! I usually serve with barbeque sauce and baked beans (throwing the fat chunks from the pulled pork into the beans to add a little extra flavor). Check out my Sweet and Spicy Cornbread Muffins recipe for a great side. Enjoy!

EASY SLOW COOKER BBQ
Southern pulled pork BBQ that is so easy to make! I have shared this BBQ with family, friends, and co-workers, and they have told me that this is amongst the best BBQ they have ever eaten. I use a North Carolina style vinegar-based sauce when I make this, but this is the fun part of this recipe, because you can use any sauce you like and it turns out good. Your pulled pork makes good BBQ plates, or it is good on sandwiches also.
