Stir together the brown sugar, chile powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Drain off the fat from cooking liquid then pour remaining sauce into saucepan add barbecue sauce and heat if not enough liquid add 1/2 to 1 cup hot water.
