The cut of pork to use:

When we make this pork recipe, we tend to stick to a 4-5 lb pork tenderloin or roast. However, you can also use a pork shoulder as well, especially if you already have one ready to go! 

Adding flavor to pulled pork: 

If your pulled pork seems to be a bit too sweet, you can always add a little bit of apple cider vinegar or liquid smoke to cut the sweetness a bit, or even a little bit of hot sauce or smoked paprika if you enjoy a little kick in the dish. 

However, I would avoid using anything like soy sauce or coconut aminos as it might make the pulled pork too salty.
