For a richer flavor, sear the pork roast on all sides in the Dutch oven before adding the spice rub and vinegar mixture. Use a high-quality barbecue sauce that complements the pork's flavor. Experiment with different styles (e.g., Kansas City, Texas, Memphis) to find your favorite. If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or water to thin it out. Serve the pulled pork on toasted brioche buns with coleslaw, pickles, and your favorite BBQ sides.
