I had been coming to Fallbrook to visit for 15 years and finally moved here 13 years ago - where was the VW bus? There are only 4 ways into the town and I have never seen it - Thanks for the link

Soflquer has a great pulled pork finishing sauce in the sauce section. It has been made a stickie and rightly so imho. Give it a try. I'm certain it will make your Q taste just like you want it to. It's the best I have tried.

Here's my Carolina finshing sauce that I got back when I lived in North Carolina and it is the most authentic I've tasted.


Rivet's North Carolina PPB Finishing Sauce

3 cups apple cider vinegar
1 Cup Dark beer (Guiness or Killian’s Red)
1 TBSP salt
2 TBSP red pepper flakes
1 TSP coarse ground black pepper
[font=&quot]¼ Cup dark brown sugar or honey

[/font] Mix all sauce ingredients in a deep saucepan and bring to boil. Then reduce to simmer for about 30 minutes…not too hot!

[font=&quot]Mix sauce and meat in a large bowl, toss and combine well. Serve on warm buns with coleslaw.

Good smokes to you Bud!

She made one up using a whole bunch of ingedients from a bunch of recipies - unfortunately cant remember all that she added so we will have a tough time duplicating - All I know is that I had to make a creole shake as a part of it

Thanks to all who have helped - que is in the cooler resting now
