I know ther are a million different opinions on this, but I am from Ohio and we don't have a strong history with smokers or Southern BBQ. Only recently did we get a BBQ resturant! I have a cookshack Model 50 and would like to prepare some authenic southern pulled pork for some friends. I like sweet sauces over the carolina mustard sauces. Any help?

Welcome to the forum.

You should be able to find plenty of rub recipes and advice if you search on the recipe archives. I like sauce, but when the pulled pork is done well, no sauce is needed, only cheap white buns. Hotdog buns work well because the meat stays in. Good sweet homemade coleslaw is a nice condiment on the sammich.
Go to the recipe section.

Look through there. A couple of posts will jump out. One is about "best pork rub" (its on page 2) and another is the CS collection of sauces/rubs, etc (it's the first link in the recipe forum).

Hang out long enough here and listen to this group and you'll be making better Q than that restaurant...really!

Welcome
Westerville,
Welcome to the best source of smoking knowledge on the web, myself excluded.
As the others have said, there are more rubs than one person could ever try. For a good average rub with absolutely excellent bark try the shoulder and chop rub from excalibur seasonings. Available at some grocers or on line or through some suppliers. The thing I most like about it is that it is ready to go. I am not gifted at mixing various spices and with this there is no need.
My records show that I used it on over 40 whole butts in May and there are no leftovers. For sauce I used none other than the CS mild sauce mainly but some preferred the mild and spicy from CS when mixed half and half.
Good luck to you and don't sweat the cooking. You have already done most of it once you turn the unit on.
