Preparing the Pork

Season the Pork
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated.

Slow Cook the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. In a separate bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar, then pour the mixture over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred the Pork
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining sauce.
