The Tarheel BBQ pulled pork recipe sounds wonderful. I love pulled pork and this is the recipe that I first had in North Carolina. Sounds like it is easy to put together and I know that this pulled pork recipe is excellent. I can't wait to try it and serve to friends and family.

This is in no way Eastern North Carolina or Piedmont (Lexington Style) BBQ sauce. Sorry but you are way off!
