5. When roast is done to the point of falling apart, remove it from crock pot.Taking a fork pull meat apart and remove any bone or fat that may be left on the meat.Pour the juice from the roast into a bowl and use it to make rice or discard it.
6. Take 2 forks and pull all the meat apart,so it looks shredded.Place back into the crock pot and pour as much sauce as you like over the meat,mix thoroughly, cook on high for another 30 minutes.Serve with rice made from the roast drippings or on buns for an awesome BBQ sandwich.
