- Thank you for watching my Southern Carolina BBQ video. On this video, I smoked up some Carolina BBQ on my Pit Barrel PBX. I did a ton of research on what makes Southern Carolina BBQ. I read lots of articles, saw a of videos and really studied Rodney Scotts way of cooking bbq and I think I may of hacked Rodney's famous BBQ mop sauce. I love Texas style pulled pork but this Carolina BBQ is something very special and so full of flavor.
Thanks for watching

Pretty spot on with flavors. Only thing is that you shouldn’t have wrapped and let the mop sauce hit the coals. That’s part of the signature Carolina flavor
Born, raised, and rooted in Carolina, I think you did a fine job of replicating a version of our BBQ. I say “a” version because as you stated it is different depending on the region. Being truthful, your meat was closer than your slaw, but I give you credit for including the slaw and for putting your own spin on it. Here in central NC we primarily use a red slaw that has tomato products and vinegar instead of mayonnaise. I personally prefer the mayo version over the red. Most restaurants in my area have a choice of red or white slaw. Also the meat in our area is cooked without a mop sauce and very little sauce is added when pulled, so it is served basically plain with sauces on the side. But SC style is cooked, pulled, and served with sauce added throughout just as you demonstrated. Some regions will have a gloopy mess when you get it. All of it is good in its own respect, therefore, I like to travel and experience them all.
I said all that just to give you respect for a job well done sir!
The Carolinas are to pork, what Texas is to beef. I love that America has specific bbq regions that are so different from each other that a comparison isn’t really an accurate comparison. Great video!
I make a bar b q sauce that is extremely close to Rodney's but......Rodney is the KING so I'll bow my head and confess his greatness.
I can't believe how fast your family is growing. Love your channel and hope that you break the barrier in subscriptions.
Great video Joe! I bought Rodney Scott's cookbook a few months back and he includes his mop sauce in the book. I have tried it a few times and it is amazing on pork. Now I need to try your method of smoking a pork butt and spare ribs along with Rodney's mop sauce. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for the great video. I'm going to try this receipe/method this week. I'll keep you updated.
Oh my, I can't say enough good things about this one! From the spoon/mop sauce technique, textures of the meat, sauce and coleslaw recipes... Absolute heaven‼️👍👍😊
Thanks so much Bobbi! This was such a good recipe. I appreciate you watching.👍🏼
Love the method Joe. Real nice way to try to duplicate whole hog at home. Thanks for giving us ideas. Keep innovating!
Joe great job, really this video was well done!! The coffee break with the guess star is a very nice touch. I’ll be making this one for sure.
Thanks Tom! Funny story is my daughter has been stealing sips of my coffee since she was 4 years old. 😁
Well you are very close on mop sauce. My first trip to Scotts in Hemingway was about 2010. They had most of the ingredients for their mop sauce in the store. Real Lemon brand bottled juice, red pepper flakes, Black pepper, white sugar and white vinegar. Now I think they ground the red pepper flakes to give the mop its red color. Rodney took me on tour of the pits and showed me everything from coals, Long handled shovel, boat oar, mop, and 5 gallon pails of mop sauce with fresh lemon slices. Rodney was very friendly and showed me everything. There may be a few secrets but he did not appear to hold back. He even shared his pit music. Joe you did a good job! Rib + butt is decent sub for whole hog. I can tell you he mops a little heavier than you did. I hacked his sauce as soon as I got back home. But that is about it. The secret is execution!
This is the best rendition of Carolina Pulled Pork as I’ve seen. I’ve watched probably 100 videos on the subject but yours follows the processes of the masters…like Rodney Scott. Your specific coleslaw recipe has a historical background to the Dutch. It’s most popular in the US in Amish country like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
obviously you have never had true SC BBQ..
That was such a Super cook! Being Texan, I usually prefer un-sauced (or at least on the side), but I also loved SC bbq when I lived in that area for a few years (the mustard-based was a game changer). And, a half or 3/4 C mayo added to that exact slaw Really pulls it together. Awesome work!
Looking good brother Joe!! Carolina BBQ stands alone with the mop & Vinegar sauce👍it's always a hit when I make it...great cook, thanks for sharing, have a great one, you all stay safe!!👍👊🍻🍺
Great video. There's so many new things to try from this video.
Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
Now that is dedication!!!! Amazing cooking, Sir.
Thank you for watching Manuel. 👍🏼
I think Rodney actually reduces his sauce in a saucepan for about 30 minutes. That, I think, is the "secret." I use vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and Texas Pete as the base. It wasn't until I saw all the Rodney Scott videos that I started to add lemon, then reduce it for 30 minutes. However, I LOVE your idea of leaving the lemon carcass in the bottom of the Mason jar. I typically make a batch and let it rest in the refrigerator for a week before the cook, so I'll be interested to see how well "pickling" the lemon will go.
Love the PBX, BTW. I have the PBC 18" and LOVE it.
I'm pretty sure Rodney throws a little something extra in the sauce besides the reduction. I've watched interviews with him, and he always mentions he uses white vinegar, not apple cider, and then, "something else" after the traditional Pedee ingredients.
@@shawngillogly6873 He will obviously not share the exact recipe. It is up to us to vary the sauce to our liking. I have noticed fresh lemon makes a big difference.
I like to experiment adding other fresh ingredients, every time I make this mop sauce.
Theodore, I live here in Lexington NC, and have worked in BBQ since I was 15. You are dead on about how to make the sauce.
Oh my goodness does that ever look spectacular. I am loving your channel.
Thank you. 👍🏼
Vinegar based sauce is eastern NC BBQ also. Rodney Sauce is the man! Great video. Pork looks amazing. Love the blues background music too!!!
Great video Joe that looked amazing, so have to try this , made my mouth water at 6am in Australia 👌👌
Thank you for watching buddy. 👍🏼
That looks AMAZING!! I was stationed in SC in the early 90's, then in NC in the late 90's. I remember getting some pulled pork at a local (independent ) fast food style BBQ restaurant and asking where the BBQ sauce was (at that point I had never had Carolina BBQ before). Anyway, they pointed me to some bottles of sauce. I had looked right past them because that didn't look like any BBQ sauce I had ever seen before. Definitely different at first. But I soon fell in love with it. Now I crave it every so often and I want to smoke a butt and make some of my own Carolina BBQ. Very soon!! Thanks for the quality videos. I will refer back to this one when I go to make mine.
First thank you for your service. And thank you for loving our Carolina BBQ. Did you try the vinegar sauce ??? Thats my favorite.
I really care about the food, thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for watching!👍🏼
That's my wife's favorite sandwich, with the coleslaw, and extra sauce. I keep pulled pork in the freezer. I am never allowed to run out. She got hooked on them in Tennessee. 35 yrs ago. When I make my sauce I use half apple cider vinegar, no paprika, and I add 1/4 cup Frank's hot sauce. Sure is good eating.
I like apple cider vinegar sauce better that white vinegar too. I bet the hot sauce in there taste good. Thanks for watching David. 👍🏼
Another amazing cook sir! That cole slaw looks great too!
Thanks Pete! This bbq was delicious 👍🏼
We just might make a Carolina boy out of you yet!! Here in central North Carolina, we have a lot of debate about vinegar sauce vs tomato sauce. I personally like it vinegar. I do like to have mayo in my coleslaw tho!! Great video as always!
Looks great buddy. Keep up the great work.
Awesome Joe Looks Great!
That sure looks very good! Cheers, Joe! 👍✌️✌️
Dang Joe ....those Sammiches look delicious. I can just imagine the flavors going on there. Thanks for sharing my brother take care and have yourself a great week.
I need this in my life Joe!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great work, as always, chef
Thanks Alex👍🏼
This looks great! It's one of my dreams to go to S. Carolina and try Rodney Scott's barbecue. My brother lived in Charleston for a couple years and always bragged about going there all the time. I was jealous.
That is looking great and to combine pork shoulder with a rib is awesome - like it 👍👍👍
That’s good eating right there…great video Joe
This video was genius and we'll executed. Im looking forward to trying to make some pulled pork out of spare ribs. Looked amazing!
That looks delicious Joe and definitely with the slaw on the sandwich
Looks awesome brother, love the mop sauce 👍🍺
Thank you for watching. It was delicious 👍🏼
Looks delicious great job joe
Thank you Ron👍🏼
Excellent bro! I’ll be in South Carolina first week of May. I’m definitely going to be trying some authentic Carolina BBQ while I’m there!
Oh man, check out Rodney Scotts. 👍🏼
Great job! That is the closes video I have seen for RS's BBQ. I live in Austin Texas but grew up on the East Coast and I love both styles. In SC most places. Pull, chop, season, wet and mix. Each bite is the same. They all have a little bit of everything in it. In Texas they mostly just pull and do not chop. They do great beef here. But most of the pulled pork here is not so great. There is some really good pork loin that they cook more like a brisket. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for watching and your comment. I love me some good SC bbq. 👍
I don't think I have told you but I was born in Memphis and grew up eating pork bbq as a kid. Good stuff! Yours looks awesome and I will try some of that sauce next time I smoke some pork for sure
I didn't know that. It's interesting how popular pork is outside of Texas. Even Iowa claims to be the pork capital of the US. All I know is we like it here in Texas too. 😁 Thanks for watching Mark. 👍🏼
Great cook Joe!🤠🤠
Thank you Earnest. 👍🏼
If I had that smoker and I wasn't hanging meat I'd ditch the rebar and buy some round magnets to cover the holes. Using them or not they will just stick to the side of the smoker and you don't have to fuss with the rods. Plus you can partially or fully cover some holes to direct smoke to the holes you want it to vent thru.
Great job, love your videos! I’m from Carolina and some bbq restaurants serve bbq slaw along with there bbq sandwiches or bbq trays. Look in to it and try it out, you may like it as well. Again, love your videos, keep up the good work!
Amo tus videos compa
Gracias Perez!
You're the man Joe!!
Thanks Curt!👍🏼
My mom and dad are from beautiful Texas and we live in California river side CA and we love your show and thank you for the info my friend 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯😋😋😋😋
Thanks Sam! I appreciate you watching my videos 👍🏼
My folks came from NC in the 30s. Make my own vinegar sauce. Have friends asking me to make them up. Some. Also use hot pepper flakes. Dark brown sugar. White sugar to bland. Just found your video. Great.
I'm a sauce guy and that looks fantastic!! Just made me hungry at 10pm, umm thanks! 😂 🍻
😁 Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Discovered BBQ was more than ribs in Carolina. Still hurts my soul a little when people say, "Good barbecue doesn't need sauce." I get they mean good *Texas* bbq. But Carolina hog without mop sauce is incomplete by design. And I still find pork without it lacking a bit of life. No matter how well its done.
Aint Carolina slaw with out Dukes Mayo lol
Love me some good Carolina style pork. Awesome vid brotha
Thank you 👍🏼
This recipe is hard to beat. It is a great touch combining different cuts. The only one ingredient that you are missing is MSG either in the rub or in the mop sauce. ""Rodney Scott did note on the Today Show that MSG is a product he uses. “It may be a controversial ingredient,” Scott wrote, “but I unapologetically use MSG in my seasoning rub. It is a flavor maker!”"
I saw that interview as well. He also gave some of his mop sauce ingredients away and always said and some other little ingredients. I think this sauce was very close to his, it even looks the same. I appreciate you watching. 👍🏼
MSG is the flavor maker in ALL restaurant BBQ. If any Pitmaster denies it then watch their nose grow. Now they might not specifically use MSG but there are dozens of other “enhancers” natural and synthetic to boost the flavor of BBQ. No shame, especially when they’ve dialed in their specific flavor profiles.
Are we talking MSG as in Monosodium glutamate?
@@jmc0369 Yes.
@@CoolJay77 thanks, i figured ot to be after doing more research. I just went against my gut to think of adding MSG. My wife gets nasty headaches from that stuff. Almost all ranch dressings have it.
Oh Hell Yeah! Awesome job doing your homework and making some bad ass Carolina Pork! Cheers!
Thanks so much Rob!🤘
Awesome video
I have saved this video thank you Joe
Thank you Carole. 👍🏼
By “hacked” do you mean you got it out of Rodney’s new book?? Just playing brother. Great video!
Never read the book. Lots of investigative work went into this. 😁👍🏼
Looking good ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gotta try this, it looks fabulous. also save about a half to 1 pound of that pulled pork and freeze it and next time you make barbecue baked beans throw it in there
Joe, best hack is your approximation of a "whole hog" using commonly available. Nicely done sir.
nice old school pork, nice job
Thanks Scotty. ✌️
That looks great, I also made a imitation Rodney sauce I don’t know what his tastes like so I have no clue on how it compared but I do know that I thought it was spicy and I am not a fan of spicy BBQ. Great job
Good video Joe everything looks good enough to eat question why do you put the fat cap down?
Thank you. I did so that the fat could crisp up a bit. Aside from that, I smoke them fat cap up 99% of the time. 👍
Well I got to cook for about 40 to 60 people and we're going to use this recipe Saturday so I'll let you know how it goes Joe I've done a lot of pulled pork but I'm going to try to get your way
Im from that area and you are close to at Scott’s we use regular bread and it’s sauced up!
looks delicious.
Thanks Rich!🤘
Love a good pulled pork sammie!!!
Vinegar sauce is all I ever make. It's my favorite. Looks delicious.
Nice, do you use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar?
I use apple cider vinegar and brown sugar.
I went to Rodney Scott’s this past June and I distinctly remember seeing green and red pieces. I do wonder if there’s bell peppers in there.
If you aren't using hickory, it isn't Carolina BBQ, good job! Curious to know what kind of vinegar you used for the mop sauce?
Nice job🙌 I could almost taste it taste 👅 great idea to mix the pork butt and rib meat. That sauce looked good,will try it.
Thank you, it was delicious 👍🏼
You should try his BBQ collard greens
Man i want to hire this guy to be my personal chef
Very nice Joe! I hear he doesn't even give his recipes to his family. This looked absolutely amazing. Great video brother 👍
Dude, I literally have to look in multiple areas for this recipe. 👍🏼
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ It's in Rodney's book. Page 211. ;) Real close to what you made, with some tweaks.
Just wondering why you have enough holes for 3 rods mine has only enough for 2 rods is your pit barrel a new model
Yes sir, this is the PBX which is the full size Pit Barrel. 👍🏼
You should do a behind the scenes. Cook for your catering business steps in action for the job...
Damn!
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You need to butter and grill the buns. Makes a huge difference.
Yes,even coat the bun with a little mayo and then press into a hot butted cast iron skillet
@@IceMan-cp6ep Yes, that will also work, but I try not to use mayo with seed oils, as seed oils are not good for you. Actually, I recently started making my own mayo using Avocado oil. I think I will try the mayo on the bun next time I make a Smash burger. So thanks for the suggestion.
Sauce with mustard is South Carolina. Tomato base is western North Carolina. Vinegar is eastern NC, as brought to our Outer Banks in the 1600s from th Caribbean by Blackbeard and other pirates.. Tomatoes were thought to be poisonous, so they didn't enter the party till the 1800s, when this reached to Lexington, NC area. In eastern NC, we cook the pig "rooter to tooter" (meaning whole but gutted), wrapped and buried in the ground with hot coals for about 24 hours. Then it's chopped or sliced and sauce is added. You come down here talking about "pulled pork" we know you're a Yankee! There's even a town named Barbecue near Ft. Bragg, so you can attend the Barbecue church. 😊
Best sauce ever is Clear Run Farms in Harrells, NC. They ship.
Being a Carolina boy from Eastern North Carolina your recipe looks good but I have to say apple cider vinegar is more the way to go. A little white vinegar is okay but apple cider vinegar is King
Just Buy Rodney's Cookbook - he has included his Mop Sauce in the book...
Think i heard him say he simmers sauce to take some of the twang out the vinegar...
But trying this sauce
I don’t know what part of NC you got that coal slaw recipe! But you lost me with no mayonnaise!
Thanks for making me HUNGRY for pulled pork
God I wish we were neighbors I would be your best friend you are awesome at what you do I have one quick question for you do you have your own restaurant
If you use a mopping sauce then don’t season the meat!! Only use salt, then mop with the rest of the seasoning in the mop sauce
That's what one restaurant in South Carolina does. The rest do season their pork. I appreciate you watching 👍🏼
First and watching 👀
Another amazing cook my brother
Thank you brother Jorge!
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ 💯🔥🍻👍
Where can i find the recipe ?
How much salt goes in the mop sauce? You didn't say
you used the same 5 ingredients in a rub that my family uses and here's a 5 ingredient sauce for you as well....go heavy on the vinegar,ketchup or mustard depending on which base you like. The 5 ingredients are : apple cider vinegar,brown sugar,mustard,ketchup and worcestershire sauce.
I like vinegar pepper sauce so I go 1.5 cups ACV,very small amount of ketchup( a squirt or 2), even smaller amount of mustard,3/4 cup of brown sugar,a few shakes of worcestershire sauce....red pepper flakes to taste
Sounds delicious 🤘
1. Always ACV
2. Pepper sauce is better boiled and cooled
What about a little bit barbecue sauce on the sandwich?
Also, how about just putting a little bit of mayo on the coleslaw?
I mean...if you read his book he gives the entire recipe right there haha.
Sort of, there are still other ingredients missing. Sometimes I wonder if the world really k ows his mop sauce recipe 100%. 👍🏼
Big difference between North and South Carolina in BBQ. It gets different again Eastern North Carolina ( vinegar base) vs west .
Where are you located?
I'm in Texas.👍🏼
The thing I love about this cook is the mixture of the rib meat and the shoulder.
The texture is the base, correct bite. From there, rub and sauce, makes it your own.
KC, SC, TX, Memphis, vinegar or tomato, binder no binder, Dukes or Hellmans,
mayo no mayo, hot or not, hickory or apple, etc. Find a "trusted" recipe and tweek
if necessary. If I am trying something new, I always start with Joe first. 👍👍👍
Definitely givin' this one a try.
Question,
I don't recall you ever making bacon? Belly, back, or shoulder?
TYFS Joe
Now i want some meat, but not just any meat...
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🍺
Thanks John. 👍🏼
Rodney heats his sauce.
