If you search for the Bone Suckin' Sauce recipe, that one is pretty good for a finishing sauce.

I'm a huge fan of the Carolina style sauce in Steven Raichlen's how to grill cookbook, it's the best I've found.

Know this is old - but for butt you can never have enough. Have seen these three here, from Elizabeth Karmel. We use the Lexington and Carolina Gold - both served warm over the pulled pork, extra for dressing each sandwich as needed. The Gold is for those who do not like the heat (SWMBO), the Lexington is ideal for some heat and those (me) who like slaw on their PP sammies. The Gold is "cooked". 

Lexington-Style Vinegar Sauce

500ml apple cider vinegar

125ml ketchup

60ml packed brown sugar

30ml granulated white sugar

15ml Kosher salt

15ml ground white pepper

5ml to 15ml red pepper flakes (the more the hotter)

2.5ml ground black pepper

Mix everything in a non-reactive bowl and let sit for at least 10 minutes, or store covered in the fridge for almost ever. 

Eastern Carolina-Style Sauce

500ml apple cider vinegar

250ml white vinegar

250ml water

15ml granulated white sugar

15ml Kosher salt

5ml ground white pepper

5ml to 15ml red pepper flakes (the more the hotter)

5ml ground black pepper

Mix everything in a non-reactive bowl and let sit for at least 10 minutes, or store covered in the fridge for almost ever. 

Carolina Gold Sauce

250ml prepared yellow mustard

180ml apple cider vinegar

125ml molasses

60ml honey

30ml peanut oil

15ml Worcestershire sauce

10ml fine grind salt

2.5ml ground white pepper

2.5ml ground black pepper

2 or 3 dashes of cayenne pepper to taste

Mix it all into a space pan and heat to just less than a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce to simmer for at least five minutes, cool before using. 

Keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge (we have kept for a month or longer)

Yeah, what is this, chemistry class?

I gotta say.....   Thanks for all the suggestions!   I can't remember what I did with that pork butt I asked suggestions for butt I'm starting to think I need to get one going again

Ok,  here is the break down,
500mL = ~17oz
125mL = ~4oz
180mL = 6oz
60mL = 2oz = 1/4 cup
30mL = 1oz = 2T
15mL = 1T
5mL = 1t
2.5mL = 1/2t

hope this helps

Personally, I prefer recipes to just have ingredients listed in grams.

That way I can just put the big mixing bowl on the digital scale and pour crap in, hitting the tare function between each ingredient and not having to bother with or clean up measuring cups or spoons.

If you can find this Vinegar Sauce by Franklin.... WOW....

Sorry. I just noticed (2 years using very heavy) on the bottle that it is only sold by HEB (Texas store).

What @Hi54putty said. 

Now, if you want store bought,  you cannot go wrong with Jim's Own Sauce based out of Cary, NC. They have a few sauces that are fantastic  (mild, vinegar,  smokey, mustard, and sticky). Mild is like Lexington style. Vinegar is eastern style. Mustard is well, mustard style. Sticky is like a sweet baby ray's thing. Oh and there's a hot, which is like Lexington but hotter.

I suggest if you order some to not buy online.  Their shipping is crazy.  Call their number and speak to Dawn. Tell her Matthew sent you. They may hook you up or they may hangup. Lol.

@Wardster are you Elder Ward?  I stalked your comment history and you have been around a while.

Nah, he's a legend, just same last name I guess.  I think my first eggfest was 1999.  I Used to be more active, but life got in the way.  I still lurk when I get the chance though...

+1 on the Stephen Raichlen Carolina recipe in the how to grill book. Using that recipe right now. . . loosely. ...

Always looking for tweaks for sauces. Thanks for sharing!

This is one I pulled from Ultimate Book of BBQ with Chris Prieto.   It has been a pretty big hit when I do pulled pork for guests who don't even know they like vinegar-based sauces.   

North Cackalacky Barbecue Sauce

Vinegar-based sauces, like this slightly spicy sauce, are traditional in eastern North Carolina and don’t require refrigeration.

Yield: about 1 2⁄3 cups Total: 30 Minutes

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1⁄4 cup ketchup

2 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp. hot sauce

1 1⁄2 tsp. dried crushed red pepper

1⁄2 tsp. coarse black pepper

1⁄8 tsp. ground red pepper

2 tsp. table salt

1 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice

1⁄2 cup apple juice

Stir together all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 2⁄3 cups, about 25 minutes.

@clemsontyger97 that sauce sounds good. Thanks

I also us Elder Ward's sauce, but omit the sugar. It's the real deal.
