Thank you for watching my Southern Carolina BBQ video. On this video, I smoked up some Carolina BBQ on my Pit Barrel PBX. I did a ton of research on what makes Southern Carolina BBQ. I read lots of articles, saw a of videos and really studied Rodney Scotts way of cooking bbq and I think I may of hacked Rodney’s famous BBQ mop sauce. I love Texas style pulled pork but this Carolina BBQ is something very special and so full of flavor.
Thanks for watching

Well you are very close on mop sauce. My first trip to Scotts in Hemingway was about 2010. They had most of the ingredients for their mop sauce in the store. Real Lemon brand bottled juice, red pepper flakes, Black pepper, white sugar and white vinegar. Now I think they ground the red pepper flakes to give the mop its red color. Rodney took me on tour of the pits and showed me everything from coals, Long handled shovel, boat oar, mop, and 5 gallon pails of mop sauce with fresh lemon slices. Rodney was very friendly and showed me everything. There may be a few secrets but he did not appear to hold back. He even shared his pit music. Joe you did a good job! Rib + butt is decent sub for whole hog. I can tell you he mops a little heavier than you did. I hacked his sauce as soon as I got back home. But that is about it. The secret is execution!
I went to Rodney Scott’s this past June and I distinctly remember seeing green and red pieces. I do wonder if there’s bell peppers in there.
Big difference between North and South Carolina in BBQ. It gets different again Eastern North Carolina ( vinegar base) vs west .
Rodney heats his sauce.
How much salt in the mop sauce? It was omitted from ingredients but it appears to be included in the mix that was poured in
Thanks for the great video. I'm going to try this receipe/method this week. I'll keep you updated.
South Carolina!!! NOT Southern Carolina. Southern Carolina doesn't exist.
where is southern carolina? not even close to SC BBQ…
No chili powder his uses paprika, and there is msg in the rub.
Good video Joe everything looks good enough to eat question why do you put the fat cap down?
I make a bar b q sauce that is extremely close to Rodney's but……Rodney is the KING so I'll bow my head and confess his greatness.
Think i heard him say he simmers sauce to take some of the twang out the vinegar…
But trying this sauce
hacked a sause, you gonna releae a rub recipe to make up for it
Great job, love your videos! I’m from Carolina and some bbq restaurants serve bbq slaw along with there bbq sandwiches or bbq trays. Look in to it and try it out, you may like it as well. Again, love your videos, keep up the good work!
I don’t know what part of NC you got that coal slaw recipe! But you lost me with no mayonnaise!
Being a Carolina boy from Eastern North Carolina your recipe looks good but I have to say apple cider vinegar is more the way to go. A little white vinegar is okay but apple cider vinegar is King
You need to butter and grill the buns. Makes a huge difference.
Thanks for making me HUNGRY for pulled pork
you used the same 5 ingredients in a rub that my family uses and here's a 5 ingredient sauce for you as well….go heavy on the vinegar,ketchup or mustard depending on which base you like. The 5 ingredients are : apple cider vinegar,brown sugar,mustard,ketchup and worcestershire sauce.
I like vinegar pepper sauce so I go 1.5 cups ACV,very small amount of ketchup( a squirt or 2), even smaller amount of mustard,3/4 cup of brown sugar,a few shakes of worcestershire sauce….red pepper flakes to taste
Gotta try this, it looks fabulous. also save about a half to 1 pound of that pulled pork and freeze it and next time you make barbecue baked beans throw it in there
Great job! That is the closes video I have seen for RS's BBQ. I live in Austin Texas but grew up on the East Coast and I love both styles. In SC most places. Pull, chop, season, wet and mix. Each bite is the same. They all have a little bit of everything in it. In Texas they mostly just pull and do not chop. They do great beef here. But most of the pulled pork here is not so great. There is some really good pork loin that they cook more like a brisket. Thanks for the video!
Why are you using the rods? The only purpose for the rods is to hang ribs.
That looks AMAZING!! I was stationed in SC in the early 90's, then in NC in the late 90's. I remember getting some pulled pork at a local (independent ) fast food style BBQ restaurant and asking where the BBQ sauce was (at that point I had never had Carolina BBQ before). Anyway, they pointed me to some bottles of sauce. I had looked right past them because that didn't look like any BBQ sauce I had ever seen before. Definitely different at first. But I soon fell in love with it. Now I crave it every so often and I want to smoke a butt and make some of my own Carolina BBQ. Very soon!! Thanks for the quality videos. I will refer back to this one when I go to make mine.
I thought he used paprika in his mop sauce?
I’m I mistaken?
Joe, best hack is your approximation of a "whole hog" using commonly available. Nicely done sir.
My folks came from NC in the 30s. Make my own vinegar sauce. Have friends asking me to make them up. Some. Also use hot pepper flakes. Dark brown sugar. White sugar to bland. Just found your video. Great.
By “hacked” do you mean you got it out of Rodney’s new book?? Just playing brother. Great video!
God I wish we were neighbors I would be your best friend you are awesome at what you do I have one quick question for you do you have your own restaurant
Well I got to cook for about 40 to 60 people and we're going to use this recipe Saturday so I'll let you know how it goes Joe I've done a lot of pulled pork but I'm going to try to get your way
I grew up on whole hog, in the Lowcountry of SC, 18 miles from Hemingway, and Rodney’s Father’s Restaurant. 16 miles from Kingstree, and am from Andrews, SC. It’s all about Red Pepper and Vinegar, for me. Instead of Cayenne pepper, it’s all about using Texas Pete and black pepper. Black pepper is what really gives you that final bite in the aftertaste. Heavy paprika and garlic is a joke. The #1 big secret is to use grape jelly, in your sauce in place of sugar! The melted down jelly takes all The acidity of the vinegar out of the sauce. You can try it and thank me later. Happy Smoking!
I can't believe how fast your family is growing. Love your channel and hope that you break the barrier in subscriptions.
Oh my goodness does that ever look spectacular. I am loving your channel.
How much salt goes in the mop sauce? You didn't say
What about a little bit barbecue sauce on the sandwich?
Also, how about just putting a little bit of mayo on the coleslaw?
Man i want to hire this guy to be my personal chef
If you aren't using hickory, it isn't Carolina BBQ, good job! Curious to know what kind of vinegar you used for the mop sauce?
This is the best rendition of Carolina Pulled Pork as I’ve seen. I’ve watched probably 100 videos on the subject but yours follows the processes of the masters…like Rodney Scott. Your specific coleslaw recipe has a historical background to the Dutch. It’s most popular in the US in Amish country like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Carolinas are to pork, what Texas is to beef. I love that America has specific bbq regions that are so different from each other that a comparison isn’t really an accurate comparison. Great video!
Vinegar based sauce is eastern NC BBQ also. Rodney Sauce is the man! Great video. Pork looks amazing. Love the blues background music too!!!
Where can i find the recipe ?
Omg quit saying southern Carolina. You’re driving me nuts
That is looking great and to combine pork shoulder with a rib is awesome – like it 👍👍👍
