Pulled pork seasoning/sauce post cook

Does anyone season their pork (Boston butt) after it's been pulled? I'm a big fan of Rodney Scotts barbecue and the method in which he goes about it. Obviously that's the whole hog method, but the way he seasons and sauces the split open hog as it's finishing up intrigues me. With anyone familiar with what/who I'm talking about, I'm trying to figure out/decide whether that result can be emulated to some degree.
Anyone?
Anyone?

I'm not familiar with Rodney Scott (other than I know he makes barbecue in South Carolina). I sauce mine when I'm finished pulling. Eastern NC vinegar sauce only. I've never tried adding rub at that point, only before the cook. I've never sauced while it's still cooking either.
Try it next time. I'm sure it'll be tasty, the question is, will it be MORE tasty.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I've never rubbed after the fact, but I do like to add a little sauce if I'm eating a pulled pork sandwich. If I'm just eating the pork, I don't put anything else on it. I'm with @Carolina Q I really like vinegar sauce lately.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

I'm with Grillin Beers on this one. Season it 12-24 hours in advance, get a good bark on it with that seasoning, smoke ite (I've been all about the quicker high-temp smoke - at 300 - recently), pull it when you're ready, and have a good sauce ready for people to add to their own taste.Love cooking on my XL BGE for 2, 12, or 100!

I have added a little extra rub to the pork once I pulled it and I think it is good. I add just a little and it sort of just melts into the hot pork. It is a subtle difference that you might not even notice. If you are using a sauce I don't think it matters too much. Much of the same flavors that are in the rub are already in the sauce (salt, sugar, garlic, chili powders, etc).
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I don't add any seasoning afterwards. I will add sauce on my sandwich for bbq and I keep a portion of the leftovers to go towards tacos/burritos so I don't like to over due the bbq flavor on the pork since I multi purpose it.

As everyone in our house likes a different BBQ sauce, I don't add it to the pan. But I do add S ome apple cider vinegar mixed with apple juice, 2 or 3:1, and a touch of the rub. No complaints from everyone we've fed!Doug

I use this with pulled pork. After it's pulled, I mix a cup or so into the meat and reserve the remainder for those who may want an extra kick. It takes the flavor up a notch.

1/4 Cup Ketchup

1 teaspoon Browning Sauce
½ teaspoon Salt

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook at medium
stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.
Cover & chill until ready to serve.

I'll add my voice to those who like the Eastern NC vinegar sauce (I use Elder Ward's, but I've collected some other recipes I might try sometime). I like to taste the pork, and adding more rub might be tasty, but I worry it'd cover the pork a little more than I want. A smoky bark and a simple vinegar sauce is a great combination for me.

Last week I over shot a little on a couple of butts. So I was worried about the pork being dry. I sprinkled it with cider vinegar, and it seemed to help withough being noticeable.Lawrenceville, GA
