I haven't tried this, but from what I've read this is a really good sauce from Roxy.

Or just do a search in the forum for "carolina and vinegar and sauce" without the quotes.

I found a recipe online, but the ingredients didn't sound right so I modified it. For example it had no crushed red pepper, but all the BBQ places I've been to in NC had crushed red pepper in their sauce. I lived in Durham, NC for 4 years so I've been to several places.

This is what I use for Eastern NC BBQ sauce, Western NC is different:

1 cup White vinegar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs tabasco Texas Pete is what they normally use (which you can't get in TX)
1/2 Tbs cayenne pepper
1/2 Tbs crushed red pepper
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Mix it all up and put it in the fridge, use it right away or let it sit overnight for better results.

Here is mine, sorry about the measurements, we don't really measure

1 gallon of Apple Cider vinegar (Whitehouse is preferred)
brown sugar
red pepper
black pepper
white pepper

Mix it together and let it simmer (you want to cook the vinegar down)

I keep an olive oil bottle with this recipe on the table, and beside the grill at all times. I also use it on ribs, pork chops, ham steaks (the best), chicken etc when grilling. It is an old simple recipe I got from Mr. Height next door.

Apple Cider vinegar
1/2-1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tbsp ground red pepper
1/4 tbsp black pepper

It will make your tongue slap you silly when applied properly. Try it on rotisserie chicken from the store as well.

Smokin_NC_BBQ, you're right on with that Eastern style recipe. No muss, no fuss, no extra ingredients trying to "jazz" it up. That's exactly how a traditional sauce should be made. Good job, my man!

Sawyer, I don't do any competitions...but I do own a bbq restaurant in Summerville.

I love Eastern Carolina sauce. My aunt's family are hog farmers in Rocky Mount. I learned what real Eastern Q is all about from them. I got a recipe from my uncle, but there is a "secret ingredient" that will probably go to my Aunt's brother's grave. I would give you what I have, but I just bought a new computer and haven't gotten all my files transferred over yet. I know it has 1 lb of butter, 1 gallon of cider vineger, and crushed red pepper in it. Maybe some black pepper, but I'm not real sure about that.

Here is a vinegar sauce that I adopted from my great uncle and have tweeked it a little. I reduced the ingredients for a small batch.

16oz Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup worchestershire (Lea and Perrins)
1/4 stick unsalted butter (not margarine)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Lots of black pepper and red pepper flakes

Over medium heat, stir all ingredients together until it begins to steam a little, but not boil. Make sure butter and sugar are dissolved. I usually make large batches and seal in sterile bottles or quart canning jars. Once opened I refrigerate it. This kind of sauce is common around the BBQ joints of the South Carolina lowcountry.

NC Vinegar Sauce (Also Doubles as a mop Sauce, just add some onion/jalepeno chunks)

2 C. Cider Vinegar
3 T. Catsup
2 T. Brown Sugar ( I use lite. Some Swear by dark.)
4 t. coarse salt
1 T. Hot sauce ( I use more when I cook for Numero Uno)
1 t. Red Pepper Flakes ***See Hot Sauce
2 t. Fresh cracked pepper

OPTIONAL
Sometimes I will mix it up and then squirt some lemon/orange juice in. Gives it a different aftertaste.

I make mine in empty bbq/catsup bottles.

N-Joy
