- Thanks for watching my no wrap pulled pork recipe. On this video, I smoked some Texas Style Pulled Pork and also some Carolina Pulled Pork. Which one is better? I really like Texas style pulled pork but the Carolina style pulled pork is really good too. Watch until the end and see which pulled pork a few of my neighbors preferred.
Thanks for watching

Thank you very much for watching this video. Check out part 2 where I feel I represented Carolina BBQ a little bit better. ruclips.net/video/b_dDnaWywTA/видео.html
Do you have a restaurant/ food truck by any chance? I'm pretty sure we live in the same city and would drop by in a heartbeat.
Great video! Out of curiosity, why do you use the top rack?
Joe nothing wrong with the out side fat . You dont have to take it
All. .a thin layer is good .
I. No
I never wrap and I think it’s the best way to go.
I've been doing Carolina style for more than 20 years and I've never needed a binder for the rub. I rub the night before and put it back in the refrigerator overnight and the rub adheres beautifully. My rub starts with 1/4 cup of hot paprika and then has:
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
One key element missing is that in the Carolinas we tend to use Hickory wood for smoking and that's going to deliver a different flavor than post oak. If I'm doing brisket, I'll use oak but for pork, it's always either Hickory or Apple. I leave the fat cap on but I score it to allow the rub to penetrate. I want the fat to render and self-baste. Removing the fat probably does make the cooking time a little more predictable since the evaporative cooling from the rendering fat is what causes the "stall". I NEVER wrap because I don't like what it does to the bark. I'd also suggest letting it rest in a dry cooler for at least an hour before pulling. The biggest debate in the Carolinas is over the sauce. Eastern NC prefers vinegar-based with no ketchup, Western NC prefers a red sauce and South Carolina adds a mustard-based sauce to the mix. I personally prefer the Eastern style.
You know so much about this grilling thing , you sound like you should be making some videos your self John . I think i will love to go with Vinegar based with no ketchup like an Eastern NC . You never did mention which one you'd pick Texas Style pulled pork or NC ?
I grew up on eastern seaboard in Virginia right before NC. My grandfather made whole hog pull pork until he was about 90 and my uncles still make it till this day. Texas does a good brisket but when it comes to pull pork..can't beat NC
I prefer the mustard base or tomato base, don’t care for vinegar. I’m from eastern South Carolina. I also love Texas brisket.
I did some pork spare ribs over oak and they were the best ribs I've ever made. Used to use hickory.
Also I wrap in pink butcher paper not foil. I think it breathes more so you're not steaming the bark.
Good job buddy!
Carolina style is where its at when it comes to pork. Eastern North Carolina, and South Carolina are my go to. Texas style for beef. Thanks for the video.
Beef in Texas, Pork in Carolina.
@DinkleDigeroo I've had Japanese Waygu and it was the best eating experience I've ever had. I will never spend the cash on it again, but I'm glad I experienced it once.
This is the correct answer.
@@alexanderh.5814 lol agree....Waygu brisket is what you buy once a year when/if you get a xmas bonus
lowdownone is it Japanese Waygu. 12 ounce Sirloin was $145. I lied I get it every Xmas too
As a North Carolinian, I would agree completely.
Being a BBQ devotee and a happy owner of a Big Green Egg for 25 years,
I have lived in both North Carolina and Texas ( Charlotte and San Antonio respectively). I LOVE them both. They are VERY different. But, my personal preference for BBQ "style" is TEXAS. Especially their beef brisket and ribs, turkey, and sausages. I also very much appreciate Kansas City and St. Louis styles of BBQ, Memphis style, and Cajun style.I've tried Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabian, Argentinian, and Turkish style BBQ.
Now, at age 71, I have come to the conclusion that my true preference is Texas style BBQ. That's just me.
You lived in the wrong Carolina ;)
@@chriscaswell1212
LOL!
BGE👍🏻
....and the winner is....your neighbours!!! They both looked great. Nice touch on the no wrap cook. Thanks Joe!
Thank you Brian! I Love my neighbors.🤘
Homie ringin' doorbells and his neighbors show up with forks. They know what he's about hahah.
Yeah buddy!🤣 Thanks for watching.👍
Eastern North Carolina Pulled Pork everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
That Eastern NC vinegar sauce truly elevates the flavor of the pork to a whole other level.
The proper way to eat NC pulled pork is start with a nice soft Bun, place a heaping amount of pulled pork,
put you about 5 shakes of you favorite vinegar based Hot Sauce (I prefer Texas Pete's)
Then put you a nice scoop of peppery southern Coleslaw on top and you got something Special.
That sounds delicious! I'm gonna try that.👍
Proper way? Damn food police
Both of them are making my mouth water. I happened to have brought 2 pork shoulder for a upcoming dinner and I am definitely going to cook them both ways too. Me and my family are Carolina minced barbecue lovers and I love to smoke the pork for it. The other will be my first Texas style and I can't wait. Thank you.
My favorite smells of summer, smoked meats, beer and fresh cut summer lawn.
The summer? I live in Colorado and smoked a butt this weekend, 30 degrees. Carolina style. I dont let the weather dictate how often i grill. Smoked Pulled Pork is too good to only eat 4 months out the year.
@@cannaventureseeds2909 he’s just relating to his most memorably moments that it reminds him of
@@BYOB561 that person hahaha
You mean all year 'round here in TX. We're not seasonal.
I've been using creole mustard as a binder for added flavor. It's been working out really well!
Thanks Joe. I have an 18” Weber smoky mountain and 22” Napoleon Apollo smoker. Limited room. I really appreciate you mentioning that some of us are not cooking offset heat. I leave a little fat cap on and place it down to protect my bbq. Hope that sounds smart
They both look great. I use yellow mustard as a base here in NC with my home made rub (Brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, paprika, cayenne) and it works great.
Man this is awesome...I love how you did this. Joe you're the the man.
I do the same rub with mustard, got to have that vinegar bbq sauce
Carolina style is my favorite!
I do the same but I started subbing kashmiri chili powder for my cayenne
Same here.
Hi Joe - I love your engagement with your neighbors. Both pork shoulders looked amazing. Thanks for sharing. Be well & stay safe!
Oooooooooo you know what? We love them BOTH! You can’t go wrong with either!!! Love how juicy and tender they both are....looks soooooo delicious!!!!!! Great job Smokin’ Joe!!! ❤️
Thank you so much Ladies! I appreciate you stopping by. It means a ton to have you gals watch my videos. 🤘❤ It was so good....that it made me feel like dancing!🕺
Smokin' Joe's Pit BBQ 🥰💃🏻🤗
nice
Great to see the neighbors involved. Wonderful video!!
They both look amazing! Keep in mind that BBQ changes from Eastern and Western Carolina. Western Carolina BBQ is a ketchup base, while Eastern Carolina is vinegar based. East and West also make their cheese biscuits differently.
I've been reading about north vs south Carolina bbq and there's a huge difference. Thanks for watching.👍
We put Vinegar in cereal ..lol Eastern style is the only way
🤣
Some NC BBQ is a Mustard base, which I find to be very good.
@@thefreelancers1733 , you'll see some mustard based BBQ in the Piedmont, but it's mostly a South Carolina style. Either way it's good too.
One more tip from South Carolina. After the meat is done and pulled , place some green Hickory wood on the coals and on a sheep pan, spread out the meat and allow it to smoke for about half hour. That get the hickory flavor into all the meat that did get any flavor with the initial smoking. Chef Jerry. The green wood is where the most flavor comes from, not the dried wood you have to use to make smoke and keep the fire going.
That sounds good Jerry! I haven't heard of doinf this but I bet it's fantastic. Thanks for watching.👍
This reminds me of my uncle Dale, May the lord rest his soul. First time I met him when I moved to South Carolina he took me to a bbq joint that had what they call hash which was pulled pork super thinly pulled with mustard and hush puppies…. Was so damn good!
I had an Uncle Dale in SC as well 😆
Carolina hash hard to beat
Hash actually has a little pork liver and head meat. It's mostly the "leftovers" finely minced. It's cooked with starches like potatoes to make it thick and is cooked for a long time. It's actually very hard to make well. If not done right, it has a very heavy mineral/liver taste.
Texas proud...thanks for the great video and neighbors!
Joe...tough call apparently...a credit to your grill skill😉...this was a lot of fun to watch...thanks for sharing!!! They both look fantastic!!!🤗😋👍💪👊✌️
I am from North Carolina and also have spent time in Texas and ate both styles of pulled pork. I like them both as well and it is hard to pick on over the other. I am from the mountains of NC where BBQ is more tomato based but I did my first pig picking on the east coast of NC while stationed there in the military where vinegar is a big part of it. Great video and they both looked great.
Thank you Matthew. I like them both as well. 👍
Those look fantastic. My introduction to Eastern NC BBQ was when my then-fiancee (now wife) took me to a pig pickin' in Robeson County. After almost 30 years, she's still the best thing about me, and I still love NC-style BBQ.
I can't recall that I've ever wrapped when BBQ-ing.
If you ever get a chance, try basting with Carolina Treet.
Great video. I’ll bet they were both amazing. I can’t wait to try your rub recipe, thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you watching 👍🏼
I'll choose......both :)
Smart man you are

Im with you on that Ry!
Sorry bbq bologna and hot links from oklahoma wins it for me lol mm
@@3stooges242 that sound good too!🤘
Being from central NC, bear in mind, there’s 2 types of pork. Tomato based(western) and vinegar based(eastern). I’ve had both. Married the two...and think it’s better than both. Was at Lake Texoma years back, had the best brisket of my life! Texas is uncontested in brisket...
Not sure who decided WNC was tomato based, but we don't do that around our camp here. Vinegar all the way, sauce optional.
Great job love the video thanks for the tips
That was a great way to compare the two. I would never do that because I would have neighbors hovering every time i fire up the smoker. Love the channel, Thanks.
I was born and raised in Texas. My mom was born and raised in NC. Ive had both types many times. I cant really compare the two to each other. They are both good but just different
Yes sir, both are great. 👍🏼
Man this is awesome...I love how you did this. Joe you're the the man.
Thank you Brother Ray! I appreciate you watching buddy. Have a blessed weekend.👍
Always great videos ! Thanks !
I enjoyed it. I like both styles as well and go back and forth depending on my mood.
They both sound delicious. The Carolina BBQ you made is closer to Eastern NC BBQ. Although the traditional Eastern NC bbq usually has red pepper flakes. The western part of the state uses a tomato based bbq.
That is one of the most satisfying things ever, when that pork bone pulls out clean, nice video!
Thank you Justin.👍
Excellent video Thanks for all the tips....
Outstanding taste test!! Great video! I will watch more and refer my friendS!
For pulled pork, Carolina all the way......for literally every other meat, Texas style all the way
I agree! 🤘 Thank you for watching.👍
No way, that shit was nasty
Carolina pulled pork is incredible.
@@naughtyvalues elaborate. Not a vinegar fan?
@@ZmannR2 even without it, the meat was dry no flavor
My kind of testing. Nice neighborhood. I would have a hard time deciding
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Learned a new way to do pulled pork.
Great job and great video. I'm sure they were both fantastic.
I've had that sauce before and it's really good! I didn't taste your pulled pork, but knowing what that sauce taste like and knowing what pulled pork taste like without it, I would go Carolina for certain. Now if you really want to step it up, stop in south Mississippi on your way to Carolina and do a bourbon glazed pulled pork, and mix some smoked pulled chicken in with it, and it will change your life! 😋🔥🤣👍😎. Great video Joe!
Oh my! That sounds so good Rus. I might need to try that some day. Thanks for watching buddy. 🤘
Do a video Rus!
FF
Good smoked meat that is wet dont need Sauce .it covers up the meat the flavor .the Mop is not sauce .
@@LUCKYB. I totally disagree. This sauce compliments the flavor of the meat and gives it that signature Carolina taste, and they call it mopping "SAUCE" or mop "SAUCE"
The best way to eat that Eastern NC style pulled pork is on some hamburger buns topped with coleslaw.
Bbq sandwiches are where it's at, but I definitely think the carolina gold is where it's at. Vinegar has its merits though.
Have to agree minus the slaw, not a big fan of slaw.
Ain't nothing like some Carolina chop barbeque, with some slaw. Now, that is some good eating. When it comes to briskets, Texas and Kansas City got the goods. Lol
I like a dab of texas pete on top as well
Only way and best way to eat Carolina pulled pork is with slaw on a hamburger bun with extra malt vinegar and a lil hot sauce. I love mine Eastern style with a twist vinegar and mustard based
just love your videos and great job !!!
born and raised in the eastern part of SC.. we do not use a vinegar sauce as a binder to cook a boston butt...i use the yellow mustard... also, IF i baste the meat while its cooking, its just a mixture of apple cider vinegar and pure apple juice.
That's because this is Eastern NC BBQ!!!! Yummy!!!!!
Joe good comparison video. Being from South Carolina we are used to that style with everyone having their own twist of the seasoning and sauces. I use my own made vinegar sauce that I serve on the side. Along with a similar combo of seasoning of the Texas and Carolina like you done. Thanks for sharing
Awesome Bubba! I really liked it. It's not something I usually cook but so darn good. I like trying these regional ways of cooking. Thanks for watching buddy.🤘
I always add the smoked drippings caught during smoking after shredding. Adds a lot of great smoky flavor to the batch. Great video man!!
great video and thank you. i think i will have to do this with the family.
Nice work my brother ...... it’s good to have a favorite, but it is good to have a solid runner-up too!! Well done. (First time viewer & new subscriber)
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing Ron. 👍
Rueben is the man, rocking that Ghost shirt 🤘. Food looks great and good comparison
I like your Videos....good techniques..
Well explained.....GREAT JOB...!!!..
LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE..!
Great show my friend thanks for the information
I always make it Texas style, but I also always make my own Carolina vinegar based hot sauce for guests to use on it. In our extended family that seems to be the combo that everyone loves the most.
No such thing as Texas style pulled pork. We don't do pulled pork here.
Mmm, I wish I lived next door to you Joe! My mouth waters the most watching your videos! 👍
great vid. easy to follow and in formative
thank you for the channel
Thank you for watching Norm. 👍🏼
You can’t lose either way , you’re a winner just by eating . Pulled pork makes you enjoy life. Great video
Joe that's so cool, love the interaction with neighbors. That's the way we are in small towns too! Great looking pulled pork for sure.
Thanks Mark. My neighbors are the best. We live in an area with 140 homes and we're all pretty close. You should see some of the get togethers we have. Thanks for watching buddy.👍
Awesome way to let the neighbors be the judge!
Great VDO - Thanks!
I LOVED the experiment! Love ‘‘em both. Depends on the mood
Definitely no losers there...both looked outstanding, I'd put them both down..lol...great cook brother Joe, thanks for sharing, have yourself a great one, you all stay safe!👍👊🤘
Thanks Craig! Both were so tasty ot was tough to pick one. Have a good one as well buddy!
Okay, I LOVE that he had the neighbors try it. A very unbias way to see reactions on the interwebs. I'm just jealous I didn't get to try them.
My neighbors are my official taste testers. 🤘
That was a great video buddy 👍...I loved the neighbors reactions
Thank you for watching. I love sharing with my neighbors.🤘
Great show thanks my friend
Texas style.I like to leave the fat, wrap it halfway and put it in a foil pan, when u shred it, the juices from the fat replace the effect the vinegar has.
Patrick Patino exactly how Franklin does it S&P granulated garlic and onion and like you said exactly
Why not remove the fat, place it in a pan, and put it beside the trimmed shoulder? Then return it home when its time to shred :)
@Pir8life Oh yeah gotta be careful if you have issues especially gall bladder.
What a great idea, Joe!
During a time when a lot of people haven't been able to join in on their usual summer activities, like goin to BBQs.. You brought it to them!
You get my American of the day award 🇺🇸💪🏻🐷🔥
Thanks Brian! I love doing this stuff. 🤘
Dam glad it all goes with beer..to be honest all this sound good to me
I would never say one bad thing about any of these different recipes
Well done comparison video sir. Being a Carolina boy, I rooted for our Carolina style...but like you I really like the Texas BBQ because it’s something different. I always get Texas style when I am traveling so I can enjoy and appreciate your style. You inspired me with this video so I may do the same comparison with pork butts. I have done a comparison with ribs, but not pulled pork.
Keep up the good work!
Great video ! I’m in Georgia and I cook it Texas style but I will have to try the Carolina style . Some of the best Q I ever had was outside Hickory NC but I love Texas style also
Carolina...when you’re the best, you don’t have to say “style”
Didn't even know Carolina had BBQ... I Can only imagine what Carolina brisket is like... LOL
@@paulanthonydean2 we leave that to the experts in Texas :D
Only thing Carolina is good for is making people sick
If I wanted pickled meat if buy a corned beef 😉
I live in eastern NC and I never trim the fat as it gives the pork lots of flavor
Yes thank you don’t trim a pork but
Agreed pork needs its fat for flavor.
Without a doubt the best pulled pork video I have seen to date. I have saved this one.
Kindest Regards: Glenn from NC.
Thank you for posting....
From Canada with love. Your videos are awesome, use your recipes all the time. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Rob!🤘
I''ve always done it no wrap, Carolina style but your Texas style looked absolutely amazing too!
This Carolina style pork was super tasty. Texas is the way we normally cook pork but Carolina style has such a good flavor too. Thanks for watching buddy.👍
Pulled pork is probably my 6th choice at a Texas BBQ joint.
Mine too. I don't ever orde pulled pork. I go for the brisket and ribs!🤘
Great video! Thanks
Love the comparison with the neighbors. Makin' me hungry from watchin'.
I've always though of it this way - Eastern NC- Pepper Vinegar, Western NC- Vinegar Tomato , Central SC- Mustard....I typically baste with one of the vinegar sauces, but default to my SC roots and dress it with some mustard sauce. Pulled pork sandwich with slaw, some hush puppies, hash and rice.....tastes like home.
Oh man that sounds amazing Michelle! I appreciate you watching.👍
also, if you are looking for another video challenge option, try Eastern Carolina BBQ vs Western Carolina BBQ. Not many people outside of NC/SC know there is a big difference in flavor. Both being delicious of course ;)
Gotta add some heat to it as well
I liked this alot Joe!! Cool to see the neighbors involved. SHHHHH I think id prefer a lil sauce on pulled pork also. But I know they both were good!
Cheers Joe!
Love it!! Pulled pork from the Carolina's is always best. I cook for fund raisers and just finished a cook where i cooked 230 boston butts on my Big Mama Que cooker and they where amazing!!!
Very nice Jeff! I love cooking for find raisers. That's a ton of pork butts. What size smoker do you have? I'm jealous!😁🤘
Great video, like how you brought your neighbors in on it. Keep it up
I'm definitely going to try the Carolina-style real soon, it looked great! However, I would like to see this same test to some Carolina residents.
I bet Carolina would win. Thanks for watching.👍
Here in North Carolina we use mustard as a binder too! Always go with mustard
Texas bbq is pretty similar to Western Carolina (ketchup base sauce) so I’d imagine people would like it - it would not stand a chance against East NC whole hog bbq tho.
@@Steve-oh2gr Um Texas is no sauce based =)
That vinegar gives it a juiciness and adds an acidic flavor that really makes the mouth water. NC pulled pork is where it’s at, Texas for the brisket and Tennessee for the ribs
I agree 100% I can't wait to visit NC! Thanks for watching.👍
Brisket-Texas
Pulled pork-NC
Pork? Ribs-Tennessee
What about beef ribs and tri-tip? Or is tri-tip not really one of the big ones?
@@tylerleuschen8132 haven’t eaten them enough to know, but I’d sure like to know where the best ones are haha

That's awesome! I want to do this! I love making pulled pork!
This is epic! I grew up in VA and lived in NC for many years, so grew up learning Carolina PPB with Eastern Carolina vinegar based sauce. Yes, no wrapping we want bark aka Mr. Brown! At 8:11 into the video those butts look awesome. Beautiful bark on the NC one. Both of them looked outstanding when you were pulling them. Excellent and fun taste test, Joe!
Thank you buddy. I actually remade this video to do Carolina justice.👍
It was surprisingly close considering they're in TX. It would be interesting to see if you were in a random state if the results would be different
Joe that's an awesome T vs C cook. I love getting the neighbors involved in something like this. That said, i'm guessing Id take either one;)...
Hey Tommy! Both were fantastic buddy. Hard to pick when they were both so good. Thanks for watching brother!🤘
Brother!! you have inspired this weekend's smoke!! thanks!
Thank you Randy. 👍
Joe, Your neighbors are the best! Makes me homesick but in a good way.
Thanks Jeff! Love my neighbors.🤘
Man I'd be so mad if you showed up at my house with that little tiny cup of pulled pork and didn't at least bring me enough to make a sandwich.
My go-to is a texas-style rub and finish with vinegar.
I bet that taste good.👍
Same. Texas style rub with vinegar turned out great.
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you. I'll be trying the carolina next time, I traditionally do texas style. Cheers.
Love the fact that you are not afraid to grab a true bite of your product for tasting.
Born and raised in the Charlotte area North Carolina. We like the lexington style BBQ sandwiches which basically has a red ketchup based slaw. And we put brown sugar in the vinegar bbq sauce to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. Eastern style is different i believe they use regular mayo based slaw if i remember correctly. I guess everybody has their own way they like it.
No 22 min video is ever gonna settle this "argument"...lol! What I'm gonna do is continue to make em both depending on my mood, and be happy with the fact that...I never have to choose sh!t...I love em both🌋😂😋🤪
Love your attitude and I 👍
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ thanks for the video...I love your content!!!
The true way to have them vote would have been to offer them a sandwich of their choice. You would have some happy neighbors.
Both looked good
