Place the pork in a baking dish. In a bowl, combine the sugar, Essence, salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, and cayenne. Rub the seasoning evenly over the pork to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Bring the pork to room temperature and place in the slow cooker pan, fat side up. Fill half way with water. Slow cook on low for 8 hours.
With a knife and fork or two forks, pull the meat apart into small slices or chunks. Toss with the Barbecue Sauce, to taste, and return to slow cooker for another hour or two, until sauce is absorbed. Serve with coleslaw and hamburger buns.
Barbecue Sauce: Make ahead & refrigerate
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk well to dissolve the sugar. Place in a squeeze bottle and dress the pulled pork sandwiches to taste.
