Bekah's Pulled Pork

I have adopted this recipe from Mean Chef. This is one of my favorite recipes. The pork is sweet, succulent and falling apart tender. Fabulous served alone, on rolls, in tortillas.

5. Take out pork and re-rub.
6. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
7. Roast on rack uncovered in oven at 250-275 degrees until falling apart tender.
8. It will take 7-8 hours, the internal temperature of the pork when done should be between 195 and 200 degrees.
9. Pull pork into pieces, toss with sauce.
10. Serve with extra sauce
