Do you really think that North Carolina created BBQ pork? No. It was South Carolina. No use to bother with North Carolina.

I'm in Salisbury, 15-20 mins from Lexington on 85. I have seen alot more chopped/pulled like Eastern in the western side of NC. But it all depends on preference - I prefer pork butt as a sandwich, smoked chicken shredded, and brisket about no more than 1/4" thick! But what are some of yalls favorite NC pits? We use to have Gary's in China Groove caterer work meals. Or in Charlotte, Macs Speed shop. Smoke Pit has both styles. I went to Western Caroline University up in the mountains about 30-45 mins west of Asheville and there are some awesome places in Waynesville as well! Can't forget College BBQ over by the VA!!

Edit- I prefer Apple, pecan, cherry, oak over hickory or mesquite wood. But I also tend to smoke with Royal Oak charred chunks and any of the fruit wood mentioned above. But unlike the Weber you used I have a Oklahoma Joe smoker with a fire box. But still, I haven't seen this method before and is pretty cool to try next time I go camping to smoke some meat during the day!

Sorry, Kansas City boy here, born and raised. My Que has to have brown sugar and molasses in it. I don't like any of the Carolina styles. Too much vinegar. Especially, the mustard based gak they serve in coastal Carolina. Yuk. 🤢

looks like a couple of softball players because it looks like they spent a lot of time at the plate

I'm sorry but Carolina BBQ is the worst of the major styles. Too much vinegar and a non-existent beef scene is a crime. Even the Santa Maria style going on in California is better.

No offense but women arent know for smoking aside from setting off the fire alarm inside the house.

Can't like this enough! Adding a 🩵heart for Morgan's alma mater. I grew up eating eastern NC style, but man has Lexington style grown on me. 'Tomato forward'. 🫡😉
