I love a good Carolina Barbecue and this recipe is amazing, its not wet, like barbecue can sometimes be in crock pot recipes. My husband made some in the smoker and spent all day and still I'm not sure its any better than this oven recipe. The trick with this, honestly is not to trim all the fat off, as you will need it to avoid dry barbecue. Serve this on buns with a little cole slaw or on its own as a pulled pork main dish. Enjoy!
