Hybrid Virginian and Eastern North Carolinian

[Machodoc]

Grew up all over the world (Navy brat) but settled primarily in NC, then moved to Eastern VA, where I've lived for the last 20+ years. I love both areas, but prefer Eastern NC-style chopped pork BBQ with vinegar sauce mopped on while slow-cooking, and added after it has cooked. I'm the happy new owner of an X-Lg Big Green Egg and have found that it does a really, REALLY, nice job cooking pig parts. I have, in fact, two Boston Butts on as I write this, sauce in the 'fridge, and slaw makings ready to go in the morning.

But now that I've admitted my prejudices, I will admit that I've also cooked some KC-Style ribs, and really liked those, and have beef brisket in my near-future plans. Needles to say, I'm not a vegan. - Machodoc

Welcome to the club! I'm a Caroline County native myself and as a native, I've pined for good sources of BBQ in our area (which is a bit lacking IMHO). I like a good NC style BBQ myself, though I won't discriminate against any good BBQ in general. What county are you in?
