A question for all you Carolina BBQ guys...

[baugherfam]

How would I go about making a good "Carolina" sauce/whatever you call it for pulled pork sandwiches? I am planning on cooking the pork butt this weekend and I normally use BBQ sauce, but I am wanting to try the real deal. Any tips/recipes?

By the way...yes, I use BBQ sauce. So there!

Deceased uncle secret NC sauce. Nothing secret about it. This is the basic most used in this area. If you want to add to it, you can.
16 oz cider vinegar
8 oz water
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar or brown sugar
That is it. I just used a bunch this morning on some pork butts I cooked yesterday. Just add a small amount at first and keep tasting it as you add more. You dont want to over power the pork.

Bauerghfarm, you related to Boomhauer? Believe what Tar River Rat says. His recipe and BBQfla' s are both variations of real this Eastern Carolina "sauce." Shred that piggy and douse it generously with the this concoction. Good Luck-Woodman

[baugherfam]

Thanks for the recipes, guys. Now I have a decision to make, though...which one to use...

Woodman,
No, I am not related to that mumble, mumble dang ol' Boomhauer, man. That show cracks me up.

Suggest you start with the basic vinegar base sauce and go from there. I like the basic and do not stray much from there. Then you can doctor it up to your liking if you want. I think you will like it and if you need some more heat, add some more pepper. The sauce does become warmer the longer it is made, say several weeks. You can buy most the sauce they use at most BBQ places around here.
