I do recall enjoying the pig at Maurice’s, in Columbia,S.C., several years ago. I do believe their pig is mustard based. It is mustard based, and its always good. IMO

Texas BBQ, Beef, and NC/SC are two different styles ones not better than the other, when I make pulled pork I sometimes make mustard sometimes vinegar. Such intelligent thought and approach are not acceptable at the 'fire. What the hecks wrong with you Roger? You can't be so reasonable. Ain't allowed. Only decent anything is what I do. You might come close if you do exactly as I do it! With the stuff available to ME!

If it isn’t from Texas and smoked with mesquite, it ain’t bbq! Texas beef BBQ smoked with mesquite is mighty darn good, but pork is best smoked with hickory or oak. I like both the vinegar style sauce and the mustard style on pork as I think both are good. My preference of the two for pork is vinegar and I also like a tomato based sauce. Pork smoked with mesquite is OK, but mesquite goes best with beef and chicken. I would not throw any of it out, but hey I like chili both with and without beans as well. JMNSHO,YMMV.

Smithfield's will be hard to beat. Generous portion of, cooked to
perfection barbecue, piled high on a steamy soft bun, topped with
delicious cole slaw and finally a liberal splashing of, Texas Pete hot
sauce. Oh, lest I forget, you better add an order of Brunswick Stew
to go with it. The best part is , you can't beat the price!
If you make up to the Wilmington area, there is a Smithfield's on
US highway 17, in Leland, NC, which is just on the west side of the
Cape Fear River, from Wilmington and also on the north side of Wilmington, in the Ogden area, is another location.
I'm working in the oilfield, in the Williston, ND area and right now ,
I'd fight a man for a good Smithfield Barbecue sandwitch, with
an order of Brunswick Stew

If it isn’t from Texas and smoked with mesquite, it ain’t bbq! Post Oak is excellent for smoking BBQ. I've never tried the Carolina styles of BBQ so couldn't comment on them.

If the joint don’t have smoke coming out a chimney it ain’t selling barbecue. Was down east near Sanford, NC last week and dropped in a Smithfield’s just to give them another chance. Sorry folks but oven roasted pork ain’t barbecue no matter the sauce. And that vinegar “sauce” is baste to those who know barbecue. I’ve forgotten more about barbecue than the Smithfields and like establishments ever knew. I can out cooked’, out servem’, out saucem’, and out shootem’ if need be. I learned at a young age in God’s Country Alabama as did all men in waiting. Flame suit on. yea right....burning a pork loin while drunk in ur back yard makes u a pit master huh?

I certainly agree on Smithfield’s BBQ, but their fried chicken is fantastic. It’s not the Talley House or Daniel Boone Inn, but their chicken is great.[/quote]
The Talley house is my local (as in 2 minutes away) 'go to' for good food thats pretty close to home cooked, but no barbecue.
Randy's bar-b-que in Troutman is decent, but they've changed cooks recently, so not sure about now.

In Greensboro there are 2 that stand out , Stameys and Country BBQ. Stameys has always been my families go to but I have always been partial to Country BBQ. They fine chop the BBQ whereas Stameys is more a combo of chopped and pulled.

I have no idea what Smithfield’s is
Aren’t they the nasty ham conglomerate that employs 45,000 illegal mexicans infected with tuberculosis to stuff all that lunchmeat into 1lb bags?

If you don’t like Smithfield’s, you don’t like NC style BBQ and no it’s not the same company as Slummy mentioned.
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...
