Grill the roast, fat side up, over Indirect Medium heat until the internal temperature reaches between 185°F and 190°F, 3 to 4 hours. The meat should be so tender it pulls apart easily. Remove from the grill, place on a platter, and loosely cover with foil. Allow to rest for about 20 minutes.Thinly slice, chop, or "pull" the pork meat into shreds with your fingers or two forks, discarding any large bits of fat. Moisten the meat with some of the sauce and mix well in a bowl. Grill the buns over Direct Medium heat until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Serve the pulled pork warm on the buns with the remaining sauce on the side.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co. All rights reserved.
