LOL! It was ok..I've tried it twice now ~ Must be an acquired taste...Does get better each time though..
 
I think I just put too much on the 1st time..Not hard when it pours like water. LOL! The taste is actually quite good, but obviously different. I'm working on it!
 
Bill,
You need to drill a small hole in the lid (approx 1/8" dia). Preferably when lid is not on bottle.
Then you cover the hole with your finger to shake the sauce up... then shake it on your pork. Once you use your first bottle, keep the lid with the hole in it for use there after. Keep it stored with the lid without the hole and swap lids when you want to use.

What you need is a little NC sauce.

Great, now there's 3 regions in NC!

WHAT?!?! You think there was only two?!?! :???:
Actually as far as BBQ goes... it's more like 4.
Eastern, Piedmont, Western, and Lexington.
5 if you want to count that small area in NC that makes a mustard base sauce. But that's more of a SC thing.
;)
 
all righty then educate me on the difference between Western, Piedmont and Lex.....and western better not be that heavy catsup stuff they serve in the mountains....that ain't Carolina...almost all those guys are from
FLORIDA!!!

Just one more reason why eastern rules, there's only one basic recipe.
Although I do enjoy the thin vins with a little catsup....just sticking up for my birthrite! So which of the 3 you mentioned is the thin vin with just a little of the red stuff?
 
As I have tried to tell you before... As you go further west you get more catsup in the sauce.

The exception is the Lexington Style sauce. It is thin as water (okay... thin as vinegar). It is almost the same thing as the Eastern Style. A hint of tomato and paprika to give it better color and a little flavor.

Eastern Style as you know is vinegar with some seasonings.

I would say Raine's is a good example of Piedmont Style as he said it was half vinegar.

Yes Western Style is more catsup based than any of the rest.
