Tips:

Pork Shoulder: For the best results, choose a 3-4 pound pork shoulder roast. This cut is well-suited for slow cooking and will become fall-apart tender in the slow cooker.
BBQ Sauce: Feel free to use your favorite store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce. If using a store-bought sauce, choose one that is thick and flavorful.
Pineapple Juice: Pineapple juice adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork. You can substitute apple juice or orange juice if desired.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the pork. You can substitute white sugar if needed.
Cooking Time: Allow the pork to cook for at least 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through and fall-apart tender.
Serving Suggestions: Serve the pulled pork on buns or rolls with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, onion rings, and pickles.
