BBQ Jackfruit sandwiches

I know what you are thinking! What is jackfruit and how does it relate to BBQ?  Jackfruit is a tropical fruit than when cooked and shredded looks like shredded/pulled pork or chicken.  I used canned jack fruit for this recipe, but you can also use frozen (thawed) or fresh.
