Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients. Rub into both sides of the pork roast.
- Place a wire rack in the bottom of a 3 1/2-quart or larger crockery slow-cooker. Combine water and liquid smoke. Pour into slow-cooker. Place the pork roast on the wire rack. If necessary, cut pork into 2 pieces to fit. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
- About 1 hour before serving, combine barbecue sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Lift pork roast from slow-cooker and let stand for 20 minutes. Using tongs, remove metal rack and discard any pan drippings.
- Shred and chop the pork roast. Return pork to slow-cooker and cover with sauce. Stir well to combine. If cooking on HIGH, change setting to LOW. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes.
- To serve, spoon about 4 ounces of the shredded pork and sauce onto the bottom of each roll. Top with second half of roll and serve at once.
