Pulled Pork Sandwiches

In the Carolinas, “real” barbecue is languidly cooked in a smoker with hickory wood, but more people likely make it this way, in the oven. It takes forever, but what a payoff: a mountain of meltingly tender meat, perfect for a big family gathering or for when you want leftovers for other meals down the road.
