One to three days before you'll be cooking, combine the salt, brown sugar, and whatever other spices you'd like and carefully rub it into the pork picnic. Set the pork onto a cooling rack that fits onto a rimmed sheet tray and put it back into the fridge, giving it 24 hours uncovered. (If you plan to go longer than a day in the fridge, cover the meat until 24 hours before you plan to roast it, then unwrap)

As soon as the pork is cool enough to handle, use two forks to pull the meat from the bone. Do this on a sheet tray so any juices that run get blended back into the pulled pork. The warmer the pork, the easier it is to shred.
