- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- Place the pork in the roasting pan and roast for 6 hours or until it is falling apart and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 170°F (77°C).
- To make barbecue sauceCombine vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the roasted pork from the oven and transfer to a large platter. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes. While it's still warm, use two forks to shred the pork. To shred the pork with two forks, hold the meat with one fork and pull the fibers with the other. Place the shredded pork in a bowl. Pour half the sauce over it and toss well to coat.
- For serving Place the pulled pork on the bottom half of the hamburger bun and top with the coleslaw. Serve with pickles and the remaining sauce.
