slow-cooker bbq pulled pork

I've never made pulled pork before. 

In fact, I've never really made anything with barbecue.  

But I had a pork tenderloin sitting in the freezer and thought, why not?

So I pulled out my slow-cooker and made up a recipe.

I started with a rub.  You can let it sit on the meat as long as you want. 

I put it on Saturday night and left it on until Sunday morning when I threw the whole thing in the crockpot.

Now I don't mean to brag...buuuuut, this was pretty dang good.

It even got the approval of my barbecue-fanatic husband. 

Success?  I think so.
