"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Pork:
1 T salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or a bit more)
pinch celery seeds
1 - 7lb boneless pork shoulder, skin and fat left intact

Basting sauce:
3 c cider vinegar
1 c ketchup
2 T dry mustard powder
2 T packed dark brown sugar
2 T Worcestershire
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Directions:
For the pork, in a small bowl, stir together the salt, garlic powder, pepper, red pepper flakes, and celery seeds. Using your fingers, rub the spice mixture all over the pork to coat evenly.
For the basting sauce, in a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; simmer for 3 minutes. Let sauce cool; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 300º. Place a rack inside a large roasting pan; place the pork on the rack. Roast for 2 1/2 hours; pour half of the sauce over the pork. Bake for 1 or 2 hours more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 180º, basting pork every 30 minutes with sauce and drippings from the bottom of the pan.
Remove pork from the oven and let stand on the rack until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, warm the remaining sauce in a sauce pan over low heat. Transfer the warm pork to a cutting board and shred or chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, mixing in some of the fat and skin. Transfer pork to a large bowl; add sauce to taste and mix well.
Serve the pork on buns with coleslaw as a topping, passing any remaining sauce on the side.

Personal Notes:
I do not put the coleslaw slaw on mine and I also cook the pork in the crock pot vs. the oven. Cook it on low for about 6 hours and it will just fall apart.
