This is just like the Carolina BBQ that I have been making for years. I follow this recipe, but I usually double everything except the meat and onions (I don't add the regular sugar). I also just mix the "rub" into the sauce and let it cook - and it still turns out great (one less step I guess). Yeah Carolina BBQ!!! -
This was quite nice - the meat was so tender with a nice tangy bite. I did add extra vinegar mixture on my bun but I didn't like how it made my bun soggy. -
Can't really rate this fairly as I am sure this would've been delicious with coleslaw on a white roll ... I just drained off the liquid and had it sliced with veggies, which sort of defeated the purpose. Long story ... anyway, just wanted to say thanks for posting the recipe. :) -
I made this a couple of weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting my review. We really enjoyed this BBQ. It was incredibly easy to make an oh so tasty! I used a 5 lb. boneless pork shoulder. I made the vinegar mixture and the rub the night before so I could wake up early and just throw it in the crockpot. I cooked it on low for 9 hours and it turned out perfect. I took it out and placed it on a cutting board, let it cool for about 15 minutes and then I used a couple of forks to shred the meat. I served it on hamburger buns with coleslaw (<a href="/24443">Creamy Coleslaw</a>) and crunchy French fries. There were only three of us so we had plenty left over. We ate the rest over the next couple of days, even taking some to work for lunch. Great BBQ that I'm sure I'll be making again sometime. Thanks Audrey! -
Takes me back to when we would visit NC -- we always had to have Carolina chopped pork. You are right, the coleslaw makes all the difference in the sandwich!

My whole family loved this recipe! Even my youngest ~ who doesn't really like spicy food. The only thing I did different was using minced garlic instead of garlic salt. I will definitely pass this on to family and friends!

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.

<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
