Steps

1Combine brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub.
2Rub the pork shoulder generously with the spice mixture, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
3Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker, pour apple cider vinegar around it, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until fork-tender.
4Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
5Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, stir in the barbecue sauce, and cook on warm for another 30 minutes before serving on hamburger buns.
