Don’t get me wrong. I love a good slow-smoked and true BBQ pulled pork shoulder just as probably everyone else out there.

Today we prepared the BBQ sauce for tomorrow, in four different styles: North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Kansas:
BBQ with Baby Back Ribs and Pulled Pork

My job was to get up early to deal with the fire and meat 🙂
