Put meat into crock pot.  Combine next 5 ingredients, pour over meat.  Cook on low-setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat for 5 to 6 hours.

Place meat over bottom of rolls, top with onion.  Drizzle with juices.  Top with tops of rolls.

*I adapted this from a recipe for barbecued beef sandwiches.  These are tasty, but not exactly what I was looking for; definitely worth making, but I'll keep looking for the perfect pulled pork recipe.  Feel free to leave your suggestions in a comment!
