Pork Preparation
- 1
Season the Pork
In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Pork
Preheat your slow cooker or oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in the slow cooker or a roasting pan. In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and BBQ sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork, ensuring it's well covered. If using an oven, cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil. Cook for 6-8 hours in a slow cooker or 4-5 hours in the oven, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred the Pork
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker or oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Mix the shredded pork with any remaining sauce in the cooking vessel.
