Default shredded pork roast, how do I...?

Happy New Year everyone!

I would consider myself a fairly decent cook, for a single man, anyway.

We just had Christmas dinner at my brother's ex-wife's house and one of the
dishes on the menu was a roast pork that easily shredded when pulled at with
two forks. The meat was drenched in some kind of barbeque sauce and it was so
tender and delicious, I just have to have it again. I got a "take home" plate
with some of this wonderful meat on it. Two, large chunks of meat were on the
plate. I pulled it apart with my fingers and mixed it with some K.C. Barbeque
sauce and heated it in the microwave oven in a covered dish. It came out hot,
steamy, tender, and quite wonderful. I said to myself, right there and then,
that I had to find this recipe so that I can make this wonderful roast for
shredded barbeque pork sandwiches on fresh rolls!

I emailed my brother's ex for instructions and what kind of piece of meat to
buy, and of course, she did not write back. I don't think she even bothers
with her email. Yeah, I could call her but we are not "very close" and I
would just rather find the info online where I can print it out and put it in
my favorite recipe notebook. Please help me with some meat selection advice,
cooking instructions for the meat, and if you can recommend a SIMPLE barbeque
sauce (medium spicy would be nice.) or a favorite store bought barbeque
sauce, that would be very helpful.

From what I can remember, the meat came in some kind of gold, foil bag.
(Maybe it was already prepared?) It was put in the oven and roasted and when
it came out, it was a rather large piece of pork, maybe 4-5" high, and 8"
wide, 12" long. It came out of the oven dark brown, and the meat pulled apart
very easily with two forks.

I am going shopping now and am a bit sad that I cannot purchase the roast now
to prepare this week as I don't know what cut of meat to buy or what
ingredients I would need to prepare it.

Please help.

Thank you all and best wishes to everyone for a very happy and safe holiday
season.
