sauces, pickles, coleslaw, or even melting cheese on top for a delightful

BBQ Tips:
Don't sauce pulled pork before serving.
Serve the pork with just the rub and it's pure smoky goodness. Let
your guests apply the BBQ sauce of their choice (if they so desire).
I usually have three different BBQ
styles for them to choose from, a sweet, a spicy and a Carolina
mustard-based sauce.
