Totally forgot - If anyone has a CLASSIC NC sauce they can recommend (homemade is ok), I'd appreciate it. Last time i had real NC pulled pork, the guy was dishing the sauce out of a gallon jug. Bring your gravy, my people...Large BGE and Medium BGE

I like the above sauce with butts. I made some last night and put a butt on at 830. Mine its sitting at 196 right now. Good luck with your dog. We have two older dogs also. One is 15 one is 11.Geaux Tigers!!! -
What Paul says, I inject that recipe into my butt and it comes out great........did I just say that?

I started a 12 lb pork shoulder yesterday at noon. I'm cooking at the same 225° as you are. I'm 19 hours into it and I thought I would post an image showing how the temps are going. I'm using a Stokers and I have two probes into one shoulder. The red line stays fairly flat until 9 hours into it when I cleared some of the vent holes (wiggle stick) and again about 18 hours I just cleared the vents again. I think my old lump that I left in my egg before starting is causing the venting issues. Good luck on the cook and share some with Roxy.

Early Noth Carolina settlers believed tomatoes were evil, thus not included in a traditional NC style sauce."Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, Here's to "Down Home," the Old North State!"

See I learned something else on this forum today.
Still a good sauce though.

I'll be interested in seeing how much difference the mustard made.
Cute Pooch. 16 yrs is a long time for a dog, you've been fortunate. Good luck with her recovery.

Proud to say I've grown up in NC eating pulled pork and the unanimous verdict was this was the best pork we've ever eaten. Your sauce was perfect PaulHeels. I might use a better vinegar next time. I can now understand the value of the Bear Claws. No comment yet on the difference btw the two butts - we never even made it through the first one. I'll update tomorrow. Roxy has her biggest day tomorrow. Genuine thanks for the well wishes.8-DLarge BGE and Medium BGE

Our thanks to the doggies and their families for the well wishes.Roxy was touch and go and has been diagnosed with a brain event that can't be classified further without a $1000 MRI. She's home now and comfortable, with me knowing how to handle her and what to look for. Vet recommended we play it out and see if she stabilizes naturally.Again, thank you all for the kind wishes.8-Damien& RoxLarge BGE and Medium BGE

The butts looked fantastic.
Keeping my fingers crossed for Roxy, dogs become such a part of our family it's hard to imagine life without them. Maybe good bbq is the reason she's made it 16 years?

What to look for came quicker than expected. No more non BBQ related posts in this thread from me, other than to say she really was my smoking companion for 16 years and a better review on my brisket I've never received.
