Reduce root beer to 1 cup over medium heat in a large sauce pan (about 1 hr)
Add next 8 ingredients and simmer 20 minutes.
Finish the sauce with the butter.

While the roast is still warm pull it with a granny fork with the grain or chop it into small pieces.
Combine the pork with 1 cup of the BBQ sauce.

To make sandwiches:
Butter Kaiser rolls and toast or grill them.
Pile on the pork/BBQ sauce combo, top with cole slaw and prepare yourself for a visit to nirvanna!

An interesting aside to the chimney thing...my husband's father who was a brilliant engineer, actually invented that about 45 years ago! What a shame he didn't patent it!
