The real deal. For the past 3 years, this has been my "GO TO" recpipe for ENCBBQ. Not only is it OUTSTANDING IMO, many locals have endorsed it as the closest they've had to the real thing. If you are looking for true ENC style BBQ, look no further. BTW, I've tried other recipes, with taste tests, and according to those "in the know", this is the clear winner! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!

I am not from NC (born in PA) so this kind of BBQ sauce is not what I am used to. My fiance grew up in VA and his mom's family is from NC so I thought I would try it for him. Well, he like it and I didn't so I met in the middle with 3 stars.

Finally a darn-near perfect recipe for Eastern NC barbecue sauce! I'm a born-and-bred Eastern NC girl, and this tastes like home. I love the heat, this is great, just like a real pig-pickin', not that weak stuff you find in restaurants.

This is a very authentic Eastern Carolina-style sauce. It's spicy and great on pulled pork. I added a little onion powder, garlic powder, and a little dried thyme, but other than that, it's perfect.

I FIND IT REALLY HARD TO PASS UP RATING A SAUCE THATS TITLE CAROLINA BBQ SAUCE, LET ME SAY AGAIN AS A EAST CAROLINA GIRL THIS IS THE TRUE EASTERN CAROLINA WAY. VINEGAR VINGAR VINEGAR, THATS THE KEY, ALSO THIS VERSION YOU DO NOT COOK. WHICH IS MOSTLY HOW I USE IT, IT IS BEST ON PORK BUT CHICKEN RULES ALSO, USE IT THROUGH OUT THE GRILLING PROCESS. IF USED ONLY ON COOKED MEAT IT WILL BE OVER POWERING. ALSO I ALWAYS USE RED PEPPER FLAKES.

This is a great recipe for Carolina BBQ. If you are unfamiliar with this style of BBQ you may not like it. I slow cooked a 7 pound pork butt for about 17 hours on my Kamado BBQ, shredded it and put it in a crock-pot with all of the sauce. I served it with Angie's Dad's Best Cabbage Coleslaw recipe with the pork on a hamburger bun. So good!

Great..Who would have thought that you could have so many variances in different BBQ sauces. I never thought I would eat anything differently than the way we do it here in good old alabama
