Although my cooking experience is limited, I can prepare these sandwiches successfully every time. My grandma's recipe has been in the family for years.

Oven Barbecued Pork Sandwiches Recipe photo by Taste of Home
In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown roast in oil; drain. Add enough water to come halfway up side of shoulder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is just fork-tender if you intended to slice the pork shoulder, 2 to 2-1/2 hours. For pulled pork, continue cooking until meat starts to shred, 30-60 minutes more. Remove meat; discard cooking juices or save for another use. Cool meat; shred and refrigerate.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the next 10 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. For pulled pork, combine sauce and pork; simmer, uncovered, until heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve on buns. For sliced pork, serve sauce on the side.
