    I haven't made it up there yet (its in northwest arkansas) but supposedly Wright's BBq is awesome if anybody is passing through the great state or Arkansas.

    I haven't been to Wrights, but I always stop by Nick's on my way to Dallas if I have to drive. It's not world class or anything but it's consistently good.

    Wright's is pretty new.  I think they started off as a food truck.  I intend to try it out.  I've had several friends (who know good bbq) that rave about it, especially the brisket.

    I've never tried Wiley's.....

    If I want some good Texas Q, Austin is 1800 miles from here. But hey, Charleston (and John Lewis) is "only" 900! Long way to go for brisket, but you never know. =)

    As for Rodney Scott, the original store in Hemingway is much more authentic than his new place in Chharleston! What a Q-joint should look like! But it's not even a restaurant, take out only.  Saw something that said his dad is still doing it. It's been his place from the beginning anyway. I guess Rodney moved on to the big city.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    i have yet to be to bobs here in Alabama but plan to one day, I have heard the same thing @sonvolt is saying.  I am headed to Charleston next week and we are planning on going to Rodney Scott's while we are there, I am excited to try it.
    you have to go to John Lewis bbq right by Rodney's place. He was Franklin's pitmaster when he won all the accolades. The guys is a wizard. I will say that Rodney Scott changed my world when I ate some of his whole hog though. Both of those guys have made a big impact on the way I cook bbq. One with pig and the other with beef (brisket, ribs and sausage)
    +1 on Lewis BBQ.  Ask them to show you the pits.

    Also, the East Bay Deli is a good take for lunch.  They have an offset and a BGE outside and cook on both of them.  They do some of their own butchering and charcuterie.

    If you make it that far, B's just up the road in Greenville is supposed to be good too. Go to B's first because when they run out they close. Apparently a frequent occurrence. I get the impression that Skylight doesn't run out.

    Unfortunately, I've never been to either. But if I'm ever in that neck of the woods again, I'll soon be full as a tick!

    You have to try his brisket if you get a chance.  I've only been once and it was excellent.  Plan on being there before 11:15 or you'll be waiting quite a bit.

    I know one thing... here in Alabama it definitely is NOT Big Bob's Gibsons. That place is embarrassingly overrated. 

    EDIT: So I checked the list and yep, Big Bob's is rated #1. I work just down the road from that nasty shiit hole. How the owner can win competitions yet serve lousy bland and dry BBQ with run of the mill canned beans and slaw and take the top spot year after year is a mystery. Their customers are a bunch of blue hairs that still think it's 1960 and Bob ain't dead. Well, he's dead. Food sucks now. Has for a long, long time. 
    Only good bbq I’ve had in Alabama was Dreamland Ribs. Was there work the tornados about 8 years ago.
