Hey folks. I had my Dad in town last weekend, so I decided to show off my new mad smokin' skills with some pulled pork. Now you and I know that pork butt is just about the easiest and fool-proof meat you can smoke...but Dad doesn't know that.
Anyway, I used French's yellow mustard to hold on my rub (which BTW is a GREAT way get more flavor and better bark from your rubs) and cooked it up North Carolina style with apple cider vinegar sauce. Well, my Dad loved the pulled pork by itself. But being a native Texan, he really wanted BBQ sauce instead of the vinegar sauce. My wife and kids like a sweet BBQ sauce like Masterpiece Honey or Sweet Baby Ray's, but my Dad likes a smoky and spicier sauce.
The only other BBQ sauce I had in the house was the CookShack Spicy BBQ Sauce that came with my Smokette. I had never opened it. He raved about it so much, that the rest of my family tried it and loved it too. The word "spicy" in it's name is a misnomer...it is NOT very spicy at all. But the flavor is outstanding IMO. I plan to buy more and offer it as an alternative at my next pulled pork feast.
