Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat pork shoulder dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, pressing it into the meat and scored areas.
Step 4
Place pork in a large roasting pan. Pour water around (not over) the pork.
Step 5
Cover tightly with foil. Roast for 5–5.5 hours, until meat shreds easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove foil and let rest 15 minutes. Shred pork, discarding bone and excess fat.
Step 7
Whisk mayo, vinegar, Worcestershire, and cayenne in a medium bowl until smooth.
Step 8
Reserve 1 cup sauce as a serving condiment. Fold remaining sauce into the warm shredded pork.
Step 9
Serve on toasted buns or alone with reserved sauce on the side.
