Where did you hear that rumor? LOL
Actually my pulled pork is quite simple and nothing fancy, but it is GOOD!
I toss pork in the crock pot, it can be whatever is cheapest and on sale.......a pork roast, country ribs, normally at least 4-5 lbs of WHATEVER. I prefer boneless because it makes my job easier
Add about 1-2 cups water. I chop an onion and bell pepper and toss it in. I cook it all night long on low. The next morning I drain the water and shred the pork with two forks.
I dump a bottle of my favorite bbq sauce in with it and let it cook all day on low.
Done
