Put the pork roast in the slow cooker and add salt and pepper. Pour in the cider vinegar. Cover with lid and cook on low for 12 hours (I cook it overnight).
Remove the pork roast from the crockpot and shred it with forks (this will be very easy).
Drain juices from the slow cooker, reserving two cups of liquid. Return pulled pork to the slow cooker. To the reserved liquid add the brown sugar, hot sauce, and crushed pepper flakes. Stir well. Pour over shredded pork and place the lid back on the crockpot.

Place on low or warm setting until ready to serve. Can be made ahead of time, refrigerated, and reheated in the microwave.
