Steps:

• Cut the pork butt into medium (2- to 3-inch) chunks (the ribs don't need to be cut up).
• Put the pieces in a large slow cooker (at least 5 quarts); sprinkle the meat with the rub, turning the pieces to coat evenly.
• Add in the liquid smoke.
• Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours (high for 5-6 hours), until the meat is pull-apart tender and reaches an internal temperature of 190°.
• Using tongs and a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a rimmed platter or baking sheet; let rest until cool enough to handle.
• Pull the meat into strands; it should shred very easily; serve the barbecue piled on buns with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk together the chile powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain.

Transfer the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot, turning the pork to coat it with sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Then cover, transfer to the oven and bake until the pork is very tender and easily shreds when pulled apart with a fork, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let the pork cool uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1 cup of the sauce for serving, then smash the pork into the remaining sauce with a potato masher; it should fall apart and shred completely. Stir to combine the pork with the sauce. Serve on toasted potato rolls topped with coleslaw. Pass the reserved sauce.

• Country-style pork ribs aren't ribs in the traditional sense of a long bone wrapped in meat. They're more meat than bone (if they have any bone at all), and they're best with a knife and fork, a little sauce, and some corn bread. Done in a slow cooker, these ribs melt into short-strand pulled-pork barbecue in less time than a Boston butt shoulder because the ribs come already cut. Country-style ribs give off less meat juice and less fat than the shoulder, too.

Steps:

• Puree chipotle peppers with adobo sauce until smooth.
• Place pork shoulder in a large crock pot.
• Open beer and drink half.
• Combine other half with tomato sauce and pureed peppers.
• pour over pork.
• Set slow cooker to low and let it cook for at least 12 hours.
• Once pork is falling apart, remove from liquid, wrap with foil and set aside.
• Remove fat layer from liquid with a gravy separator or a turkey baster.
• in a medium saucepan, simmer liquid on a med-low heat to reduce by a third.
• once liquid has reduced, add remaining ingredients and simmer until it thickens a little bit.
• Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Pull apart pork with 2 forks or your hands, be sure to remove any excess fat and bones if any.
• I put meat back into my crock pot on the warm and then add the sauce and stir it all up.
• Serve on a warm roll or bun with some cole slaw.
