Pork Shoulder Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 -8 lbs pork butt or 6 -8 lbs pork shoulder
    1/4 cup brown mustard or 1/4 cup spicy mustard
    8 -10 slices Texas toast thick bread (or Wonder, Iron Kids, etc..)
    barbecue sauce (your favorite)
    Coleslaw (I use KFC Coleslaw KFC Coleslaw) (optional)
    French fries (I buy a large order from a local eatery because their fries are addictive) (optional)
    Spice Rub
    2 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika
    2 tablespoons garlic powder
    1 tablespoon black pepper
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (add less to adjust heat)
    1 tablespoon oregano
    1 tablespoon thyme
Preparation
    Coat shoulder with mustard and sprinkle liberally with Spice Rub coating all sides.
    Place in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
    Remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
    Place uncovered shoulder directly on rack with a drip pan beneath.
    Roast for 7-8 hours (or until falling apart).
    Remove from oven to a cooling rack to rest for at least 1 hour.
    Pull pork apart using fingers or two forks.
    Serve by topping 1 slice of bread with a generous portion of meat, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and fries.
    It makes a pretty messy (but unbeatable) open-faced sandwich so you may want to have forks at the ready.
