auk1124,
THANKS. = While what those sorts of places make in KY isn't anything that I would ever call BBQ, some grilled meats (like the so-called KOREAN BBQ, which is also NOT anything resembling real BBQ pork) are good too. = I'll try that recipe. for thin-sliced grilled pork chops, grilled over green peach-wood or hickory coals. = My pit has a "coals drawer" under the main grill for cooking steaks, burgers, etc. "for a crowd".
yours, tex
You are quite welcome. If I were gonna try that sauce recipe, I'd personally kick the heat up in it a bit. A little extra cayenne and black pepper for me, and a healthy shot of your favorite hot sauce probably wouldn't hurt it any. The better sauces I have had of that style were all pretty spicy.

love good Q and have been perfecting it since i moved back up here from an extended stint in the south. i use a weber smoky mountain and it does a damn good job on ribs and not bad on pork. i'm still trying to figure out how to do chicken though. kind of gave up smoking it and just grill it

Spending my early adult years as a long haul driver, and liking good food, there isnt much BBQ, properly done, that isnt good. Properly doesn't mean "how my Pappy done it", it means done with care.
I'm a sweet/spicy tomato sauce guy. Have had good variations of that, vinegar based, dry...... Mustard was not to my taste, but, not terrible.
Folks need to get over themselves.
James, those pits you talk about being "real".
Holes in the ground?
Or concrete/steel facsimiles of a real pit?

Imu cooked kalua pig, doesn't get much more traditional than that. Love me some Polynesian BBQ.

I do agree everyone thinks their areas is the best. I’m sure you have good bbq locally. Like others have said there is lots of good food and bbq all over and everyone enjoys different things.

Hate to bust anyone's bubble, but REAL barbeque ain't cooked on grills that you can buy at Walmart or Home Depot. Nor is it smoked with pellets, shavings, or pressed wood brisquettes......and it's not cooked using propane or electricity. Also, it's mostly a south of the Mason-Dixon line thing...........sorry Yankees.
It is cooked on a pit, over a bed of hardwood coals, low and slow, usually by old men who've been doing it for so long that they could do it blindfolded. Here in my part of the world, in the western part of Kentucky, just north of the Tennessee line, that means pork shoulders, cooked for about 16 hours, and the served pulled. Very little seasoning goes on the shoulders to begin with, usually they are mopped with a sauce while they're cooked, and served sauce on the side. Most places also cook chickens and ribs. I do like brisket, but that's a Texas innovation, and was not originally cooked here.
Some places also cook mutton, and I like good mutton, but I have found few places that really know how to do it right. Hate to burst your bubble but Real BBQ doesn’t have sauce on it! If you’re ever on the west coast feel free to stop by for some Red Oak BBQ that will blow your mind. Ain’t that right Fatcity! Hate to bust your bubble, but I very seriously doubt that anyone from the west coast knows very much about how BBQ is supposed to be cooked. The sauce I'm referring to, is a very thin vinegar-tomato based mixture that is mopped on the meat to keep it moist during the cooking. Not everybody does it, but it definitely helps. On a more serious note, we all get used to eating our regional food, and think it's the best. I've never eaten BBQ that came off a grill or smoker, that could compare to what we refer to as pit style here, and I've eat a lot of BBQ. When I refer to BBQ, I'm talking about pork or chicken that's been cooked for hours, not a hamburger or pork chop that's been cooked on a grill. I'm the same way about fried fish, as I think what we have in this part of the country is by far and away the best I've ever had. Fried chicken as well. It's only natural that we like our locally cooked food, as it's what we have grown up eating. As an example, I've eaten Carolina BBQ and Kansas City BBQ, both places that are supposedly known for their good BBQ, and to me, it wasn't even close as good as what I can get locally. But, I've also had BBQ from some places here in Kentucky that are supposed to be the best, and I didn't care for it. Everyone is different as to what we like, and while I think my part of the country makes the best BBQ, it's only natural that someone else will think theirs is better. Also, the term "BBQ" means different things to different folks. Nothing wrong with that either. Sit down

Not me. This are has the worst bbq of anywhere in the US. Style or execution? More of an execution thing. Not really a PNW style I know of except of course smoked salmon. That’s kinda BBQ “Ish” There really isn’t too many out here. Most hasn’t been very good and one place in particular was awful.

They wrapped their ribs in Saran wrap, nuked 'em and served with sauce on the side. Horrible

BBQ was first documented among natives in the Caribbean. They did it to make poor quality meat better eating. Europeans brought BBQ with them via the Caribbean into what would later be the US, in the area that would later be SC. I would argue it was perfected by European immigrants from over about Germany-way after the techniques made it well upstate, having been shared amongst colonists and natives. Pork and lamp were the primary meats. It's mostly pork now due to the cost of lamb. My people always did whole split hogs over oak coals. I've since switched to electric smokers to make better BBQ due to the ability to control what kind of smoke you get. I cook the flavor out of the wood instead of burning wood and putting all that burnt wood on the meat.
Pecan makes for the best pork BBQ. Which is ironic because Georgia is known for pecan trees, but has on average some of the worst BBQ in the South. And I've traveled enough to see much of the really weird ways people mess up something so simple a native on an island in the Carribean figured it out first.

MadMooner,
Fwiw, when we were stationed at Ft Indiantown Gap, there was NO decent BBQ (of any style) within a day's drive. - In frustration & HOMESICK for our home-style food, I had a welder up there make me a TX-style, wet-smoke pit, out of a large fuel-oil tank & an old boat trailer frame/wheels.
The welder said when it was finished, "Never seen anything like that. - What the H is it & what's it for??" (Our quarters soon became "BBQ Central" for homesick Southerners/Texicans. = Over the next 2 + years, that pit stayed "fired up" & smoking many a day.)
yours, tex
