Ingredients

1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
1 pinch poultry seasoning, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
3 stalks celery
1 large onion, quartered
1 apple, cored and quartered
1/2 cup butter
2 cups chopped celery
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
4 cups ketchup
2 cups water
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 tablespoon garlic powder

Directions

1 Place pork roast in a slow cooker; season with garlic powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add broth, 3 stalks celery, quartered onion, and apple.
2 Cover slow cooker. Cook on Low until very tender, about 8 hours. Transfer pork roast to a large platter. Discard juice and vegetables. Shred pork roast with a fork; return to slow cooker.
3 While pork roast is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan. Add 2 cups chopped celery and 1 1/2 cups chopped onion; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, liquid smoke, and garlic powder. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour barbecue sauce over shredded pork.
4 Cover slow cooker. Cook on Low until flavors combine, about 2 hours more.
