I had never made pulled pork before, but this was the most simple recipe ever! I really enjoyed it. I still can't believe the meat was so juicy and flavorful with only vinegar and barbecue sauce as added ingredients. I am planning on having a casual dinner party serving this on my homemade sandwich rolls.11/05/09

Made this recipe several times, it's always a sure thing and comes out great. Perfect for game day with a crowd. The only thing different I do is rub the pork roast with a dry rub before putting it in crock pot... paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, dry mustard.10/17/09
