Salt and pepper roast liberally. Place the roast in a slow cooker and top with the onion, orange and spices. Add about 2 cups water or stock to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high 4 hours. Reserve liquid.
Once the meat is tender, remove from slow cooker and let cool slightly before pulling apart with a fork. After you shred the meat pour some of the pan juices on it so that the meat stays moist.
