1

Mix smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, chile powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the pork shoulder.
2

Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker. Add the broth and liquid smoke.
3

Cover and cook on Low until the pork is cooked through, 7 to 8 hours. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it.
4

Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a 2-quart saucepan, add the barbecue sauce, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour over the shredded pork and mix to combine.
