Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork shoulder. Ensure it is well-coated.
Place the pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth around the pork (not directly on top to avoid washing off the rub).
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Skim off any excess fat from the liquid in the slow cooker. Stir 1.5 cups of BBQ sauce into the shredded pork, adding more to taste if desired.
Toast the burger buns lightly to give them a nice crunch.
Assemble the sandwiches: Scoop a generous portion of the BBQ pork onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and pickles if desired. Place the top bun over the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
