Absolutely fabulous! I work all day so I seared the pork roast off in the morning and threw it the crock pot. It was so nice to come home and have a delicious meal waiting for me. I will definitely be making this again!

Can I give this 10 stars rather than 5? I've been using this recipe for eons but have never left a review. I would recommend this to anyone that loves pulled pork. I do like to add dry mustard and garlic powder to the rub. I serve it with the bbq sauce Leta suggests, very tangy!

This recipe resulted in the most stunningly good pulled pork I've EVER had. I substituted a low to medium-spiced cajun spice mix for the new mexico chile powder (one of my guests couldn't tolerate very spicy foods, but loves pulled pork). That was the only change I made. I put the meat in a dutch oven and cooked it at 300 for exactly 5 hours. It was succulent, tasty, and pulled very, very easily. I think the key is the water, really - it helps really cook the meat without it drying out. However, a word of caution - the meat pulls so easily, be careful not to pull too much, or the meat will get mushy. I think I've found my pulled pork recipe right here - it was divine! Thanks, Leta - this is a real winner!

this is without a doubt one of the best new things i've made in a long time! i've eaten enough pulled pork but never even thought of making it until i saw your recipe. i had the butcher cut it for me since it wasn't on the shelf, and got 5 lbs. made the rub in the morning, massaged it in, took a shower, put it in the 300 oven with 3/4c water- i was nervouse in case it boiled down. went to work, came home, lowered the heat to 200, made the sauce. to die for-
