Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

My husband orders a lot of pulled pork when we go out to eat, so I thought I'd try to make it at home. Why didn't I try this earlier?!? It's so easy in a slow cooker and he said it tasted like Baby Blues BBQ in Venice, CA, which is a huge compliment. A 4 lb pork shoulder will easily feed four people. Thank you People magazine and Ronnie Killen for the inspiration!
