- 3 cups brown sugar
- ¼ cup onion powder
- ¼ cup garlic powder
- ¼ cup paprika
- ¼ cup salt

Instructions
Assembly instructions:
-
Rinse the pork roast under water to allow the rub to stick better.
-
In a mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, salt, thyme, and dill.
-
Spread the rub all over the outside of the rinsed roast. Gently place the rubbed pork roast in a large resealable freezer bag. Take out the excess air, seal, and freeze.
Cooking instructions:
-
On the day of cooking, take the bag out of the freezer to thaw. Once thawed, place 1/2 cup of water and 3 Tbsp. of liquid smoke in the slow cooker.
-
Place the seasoned roast into the crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once cooked, drain the extra fat and water from the crock pot.
-
Use a set of tongs or two forks to pull the roast apart. After it's shredded, add 1/2 of the full bottle of BBQ sauce and mix through. Add more if you want it saucier.
