Used a 4.25lb boneless pork shoulder, slightly trimmed of fat. Cooked 10 hours on low in 2 cans of Dr. Pepper, flipping halfway through. Drained, removed fat, shredded, and dumped a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's in and cooked on low for another hour. Served 5 hungry ladies (sliders, 2 per person) with 4-5 servings for leftovers! Perfect, easy, foolproof.

It is easy, yes, but the only flavor is the BBQ sauce that you add in! So, pick a good sauce! Do NOT make this with tenderloin - that cut is too delicious prepared other ways. I used a pork loin like the allrecipes recommended. Again, meat was tender but the flavor just wasn't there.

It was a good meal, but I didn't feel it was spectacular. I used Dad's Rootbeer and wonder if I use something stronger if it would make a bigger difference? I will definitely add onion. Worth exploring.

My dad doesn't do pulled pork and he actually requests this (he does love root beer). I'm using A&W this time around, but when I'm splurging (or making a Trader Joe's trip) it's sugar cane soda all the way. The only thing you can mess up with this recipe is the sauce. Serve with (not too) sweet, tangy coleslaw. Use the shoulder (save the loin for something outside a bun).

This was a a great recipe to make in advance and serve as my family arrived at different times (from out of town.)I took the advice on here and bought a Boston butt instead of a pork tenderloin- great advice, wonderful flavor. I bought 2 (12 oz) bottles of regular Root Beer, and used about one and a half. I cooked it 6 hours in my slow cooker, let it cool, then shredded it and returned it to the slow cooker with BBQ sauce. It was a real hit--and we're a family that usually sticks to grilled chicken or fish! It's very easy, very tasty, and not $$$ !

First I must say it is oh so very simple and delish! I agree with reviews saying that pork loin is not the best choice. Butt or shoulder is great. I have made this recipe several times (10-15!) as my large family loves pulled pork sandwiches. A few drops of liquid smoke added to a full liter of rootbeer gives us our favorite flavor. (If you use liquid smoke, be careful not to over do it. You do not need very much! ) Changing the BBQ sauce can give you a slightly different flavor each time. We love heat in our family so homemade spicy sauce is our preference although this recipe still is wonderful even with your bargain BBQ sauce. Yummy yummy yummy. Enjoy!
