Prepare a grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Uncover pork, then place pork in tray over indirect heat and close grill. Grill pork, basting with any juices from pan every 30 minutes and adding coals or wood as needed, until pork is very tender, 4-5 hours; loosely tent pork with foil if it starts to become too dark. Let stand at least 15 minutes before shredding.
