Carolina pulled pork ideas?

[Peshooter]

I'm going to smoke a few pork butts this weekend for some pulled pork sandwiches.
I've never made "Carolina Style" BBQ before so I would like to try a few recipes.
Im looking for suggestions on a good Carolina pork Rub and a good vinegar based sauce.
thanks

I don't know about any specific rubs that they have but here's a simple sauce.

1 C. Cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tsp. Cayenne pepper (or more)


Enjoy!

Here's a couple I mess around with.


2 quarts cider vinegar
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce


and then try this from paul Kirk


2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons coarse ground blk pepper
3 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
1 tablespoon louisiana hot sauce(or tabasco is ya like)
1 tablespoon worcestershire
1 tablespoon chili powder



For both recipes bring to a boil to disolve the ingredients and then let sit till cooled before using.


The first one is closer to a real NC style. Ya just have to have red pepper flakes.




Oh....and if ya feel like cheatin' I suggest http://www.georgesbbqsauce.com/index.asp Strongly suggest the hot.

Have fun!!

Try Roxy's Mustard sauce. It's the best hands down!

Looks like I'm going to be busy this weekend! I am definitely going to try a few of these.
I knew this forum would have the best and most helpful info I was looking for, Thanks.
I'm going to give Roxy's mustard sauce a try first!
Roxy, if you happen to read this post, Please, let me know what you rub on the pork prior to smoking?

Any opinions on using a spray bottle with cider vinegar during smoking?

I let my rub set for the first 2 hrs,then I spritz every hour with 50/50 apple juice and apple cider vinegar,works for me.I also mix some rub into applejuice and inject my butts,this is just my personal preference.

When I'm doing Carolina style pulled/chopped pork i stick to a very basic rub of salt, pepper, white sugar, and chili powder

Garlic is always a good thing in my kitchen...I don't put too much sugar at all...just enough to balance some flavors of the bark.

I like a rub with lots o sugar, brown or turbinado, creates great bark.
I never measure but probably
1/4 sugar
1/4 garlic powder
1/4 paprika
rest of mix red and black pepper and whatever is in my cabinet

Plan to have done well in advance of eating times, the resting time is pretty important imho.

Try this sauce just for kicks, I always put 3 types of sauce out when I do quantities (vinegar, mustard and ketchup based) ketchup based is the favorite by far. The vinegar based is a tried and true ENC recipe and the mustard based is Roxy's.

2 parts ketchup
1 part vinegar
sugar to taste(heavy hand)
Worcestershire to taste
garlic powder to taste(light hand)
red pepper flakes

Mutha Chicken is right, bbq in NC is a religion and nobody worships mustard sauce, I can tell you that. And, many a fight have broken out over whose sauce is better, lexington or eastern NC style. I'm from Winston-Salem, which is 25mins from Lexington, and am partial to that style. It's just a little sweeter. Eastern NC style is excellent, too. It's a pretty simple recipe, vinegar, salt, sugar, water, red pepper, and red pepper flake. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Lantern- I apologize, I meant to say that you were right in my post and not Mutha chicken. Do me a favor, send me a few bbq joints in the Asheville area, please. I'm in that neck of the woods a few times a year and have no idea where to go. Thanks!
