All I can say is "perfect". Now I know what I am going to do for the Falcons game this weekend.

Either will make great pulled pork, but for your first, I would go with a pork butt.

So you say there is some in the freezer..I will be down in a few hours to take that off your hands.

Looks mighty fine! That's very similar to what I grew up on and still make. And yep, a lot of the old-timer Piedmont/western NC bbq cooks added a little bit of mustard to that same basic recipe you gave. It ain't just a SC thing. It's firmly entrenched in many of the NC regional styles, too. there isn't any "one official" NC bbq, but all NC regional styles are very similar in the end.

PaPaQ · 01-15-2013, 12:52 PM

Man that looks good! I have to give that a try.

lcbateman3 · 01-15-2013, 01:03 PM

Yep there goes those western North Carolina guys claiming they know North Carolina BBQ. ;)

Looks great!

Thanks for the detailed post and pics! Nicely done.

I normally get suspicious when someone pre-sauces the meat - but I have to say, yours looks awesome!

I think I'll put that on my to-do list.

a "little bit" of mustard is one thing.

Them crazy folks south of you turn there darn sauce yellowish orange from the stuff.

However, I have to stand for what I believe is right..and mustard on bbq pork is just NOT right.

Yep, the SC sauce is way too mustardy to suit me. BBQ sauce shouldn't be yaller.

Great post John, this is how I plan to do my next pork cook.

juslearning · 01-27-2013, 12:29 PM

I am from western SC and put no sauce on mine. I also don't usually put it on a bun with slaw. If it goes on a bun, there will be DUKE"Smayonaise on it. But, I will definately try this. Is the slaw a sweet slaw?

Great tutorial by the way. Sammie looks awesome!!!!

I don't do the mustard sauce either.

BBQMaverick · 01-27-2013, 01:41 PM

Outstanding.

I like a good slaw on my pork or brisket with CWB as well.

landarc · 01-27-2013, 01:42 PM

I really think this is one of the best 'cooking pork' posts I have ever seen, anywhere.
