Give me your best pulled pork Sauce recommendations

[IceBergSLiM]

I'm smoking a big ole pork butt saturday. What sauce should I use for the pulled pork sammiches?

 

[WaTaGuMp]

BBQ, duh. :biggrin:

 

[spidey07]

Google "carolina red vinegar sauce"

Thank me later. That's all I serve with mine. Get your kechup sauce outta here. Oh, and chop up the pork instead of pulling it. Better texture and more bark in every bite.

Ingredients

2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Texas Pete’s
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

That's western NC. we don't tolerate that red shit back home in the east.

and Texas Pete is for going on the pork when you eat it.

My bad, it's what I pulled up on google.

Nothing but East for me as well.

 

[zinfamous]

actually, similar to what spidey posted, but without the ketchup and sugar.

a simple apple cider vinegar with tons of crushed red pepper, black pepper, and garlic, simmered for ~hour or so.

easy as hell.

I'm trying to google this one mix that picked up when I was visiting the old homestead a few months ago (Rocky Mount). you toss it into a gallon of apple cider vinegar. it is tits.

makes a gallon of sauce for ~$4 total (vinegar + mix)

I forget the name, though.

I don't like eastern NC bbq with just the vinegar and pepper. Although I'd never admit that around here. Then again, I'm not from this area originally so I guess I don't "get it."

Um, your sauce has ketchup in it.

like almost all BBQ sauce.

this is why BBQ sauce is inferior.

I've been smoking pork shoulders regularly the last couple of months for various events, and I swear--I've never had such glowing praise for such a simple, no-hassle food. (once you get everything together). I'll do roughly 10 lbs at a time, and that stuff is gone almost instantly. It's certainly not common in the Bay Area--at least, done NC style; so I guess it's bizarrely amazing for people out here.

Before serving, I will mix in the vinegar sauce, and leave some on the side for anyone who wants to add it. You can't tell that it's already in there, and whenever I suggest to someone to add a little, it's always "no way--this is perfect."

I need to open up a food truck...

the only problem, I can't find Texas Pete out here. I use Louisiana Crystal, which is close enough.

If it's BBQ sauce you're looking for the only answer is Famous Daves Devil's Spit...

Way too out of my way (over 30 min from my house). We usually go to Danny's BBQ for lunch when I'm at work in RTP. But those assholes aren't from NC originally either!

well, if he has to be blasphemous and ruin pulled pork with BBQ sauce, then this is the only answer:

that would be a western NC style.


stay away from any charlatans that recommend you to use a mustard sauce. These people are from SC, and are not to be trusted. ()

My recipe. Everyone around town seems to enjoy it. Will be entered in my first contest in a few weeks.

sounds like the Q Shack near Moore's square, right? they moved in after I moved away, and it seems like some corporate conglomerate business.

Cookout has some pretty good BBQ sandwiches.



... but for some truly tragic news, I learned that just last week, I think, Bojangle's was purchased by some Boston firm.

BBQ sauce and grape jelly.

Vinegar + red pepper + salt is really all we use.
