Combine spice rub ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the pork with the spice mixture and place in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Place onion and garlic in a large (5.5 quart/6 litre) Dutch oven. Place pork on top of onion and garlic. Pour over any juices that may have accumulated in the bowl.
Add the cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and water to a medium bowl, stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the pork. Cover the Dutch oven with a double layer of tight fitting aluminum foil.
Position the wire rack in rack position 3 (Rack position 8 for the BOV 900). Select SLOW COOK/Convection and cook the pork on HIGH for 6-8 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours.
Remove pork to a bowl and shred with two forks. Skim fat off cooking liquid and return pork to Dutch oven.
To make the BBQ Sauce: Add vinegar, passata, treacle, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, paprika, garlic and mustard in a medium saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring, for 10 minutes or until smooth and combined.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until sauce has thickened and turned to a maroon color. Season. Cool completely.
