1. Preheat oven to 300\u00ba. Wrap the pork in aluminum foil, seal it tight. Place in a deep roasting pan sealed side up, and fill halfway up with water. Bake, refilling the water halfway through, for about 8 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n2. Unwrap pork, discard the juices and transfer to a baking sheet. Let cool a bit, and shred pork, discarding the bone and fat. Transfer pork to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, add barbecue sauce, ketchup, Coca Cola, hot sauce, and cayenne, stir. Add sauce to shredded pork, and mix well – add salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
3. Pour water out of pan, and dry pan with a paper towel. Transfer pork to the roasting pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and return to oven for 45 minutes until the pork is heated through,<\/p>\n
4. Scoop pork onto hamburger buns and serve hot. Makes enough to feed an army. (If you don’t have an army, portion it out in freezer bags for future dinners.)<\/p>\n
