  Take out pork and re-rub. You will probably not use all the rub, just add enough to coat it again, and rub it in well. And if you prefer, you can also pour on some liquid smoke at this point. I prefer hickory but you can use whatever you'd like.

  Let the pork sit at room temperature for 2 hours

  Roast on rack uncovered in oven at 250-275 degrees until falling apart tender. I like to use a broil pan so the fat can run under the roast and it's not sitting in a lot of fat. You can also cook this for 10 hours on low in a crock pot. just placing aluminum foil balls in the bottom to keep the pork from sitting in the grease, and this would also be fabulous cooked in a smoker.
