Mix together the ingredients for the Dry Rub in a small bowl.
Trim off any large, hard fat pieces from the pork roast. Rub the pork shoulder with the dry rub on all sides. Place into the slow cooker.
Stir together the apple cider vinegar, worcestshire sauce, and liquid smoke in a small bowl, then pour over the pork roast in the slow cooker.
Cook on Low heat for 8-10 hours, or until tender.
Carefully remove the pork to a large baking sheet. Keeping it as intact as possible.
Broil on high heat in the oven for 5 minutes to get the crispy pieces of pork.

Notes

Pork Shoulder: Use a bone in or boneless pork shoulder or pork butt.
Oil: Use oil to hold the dry rub to the meat. You can use avocado or olive oil. You could also use mustard if you like which is a common binder for Texas BBQ.
Liquid Smoke: Use liquid smoke to obtain a smoky flavoring to the meat without having to use actual smoke. If you would prefer to not use this ensure that you are using a smoked paprika in the seasoning and you can also substitute the salt for a smoked salt for additional smoke flavoring.
