somebody shut me the fark up.
Thanks to SirPorkaLot's NC Barbecue thread, I've had a serious hankerin' for a taste of home ever since.
Had plans to go be the jolly old elf at the squadron's kids' Christmas Party yesterday, but Mother Nature had other plans.
Temps plunged into the single digits to the 0F I see on Wunderground this morning.
Dragged my butt out of bed as our sick baby sounded the alarm at precisely 0630, so we got her some meds and Momma snuggled her back to sleep.
Fired up a chimney of lump and setup my new Thermoworks Smoke for the first time.
- Yes, that reads 9F on my side patio. That's cold.
As the kettle came up to temp and stabilized close to 275, I grabbed the butt and added the 2nd probe to the mix.
No seasoning or rub on this just yet. I'm waiting for the 1 hour mark before I apply anything, and I think I'm going to keep it very simple with just kosher salt and a lot of hickory smoke.
Meanwhile, it's time to make "the trifecta" of Carolina Sauces (in my humble opinion):
- Lexington Dip (Recipe Link from AmazingRibs)
- Eastern NC Sauce (Recipe Link from SirPorkaLot)
- SC Style Sauce (I took Viking72's Tidewater Thin and tweaked it a bit to move the style a bit further South. Recipe Link)
More to come. Y'all have a great Sunday!
