Carolina Barbecue Recipe?
K T asked:
On an a recent trip to Raliegh, NC I fell in love with Carolina barbeque. Now, I’m looking for a good recipe for the barbeque so that I can make it at now that I’m back home. Also if anyone has a coleslaw recipe that compliments the barbeque I would like to get that too.

The Weber Big Book of Grilling has a series of exact recipes covering authentic eastern Carolina style barbeque and slaw (the vinegar based variety you likely had in Raleigh) and western Carolina barbeque (the tomato based variety which is also excellent). You can find it online at amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
We’ve made it several times, smoking the pork on the grill as well as doing it in the oven, all with excellent results. The book also has a summer’s worth of other excellent recipes that have become family favorites. Well worth the investment.
Having lived in NC for 13 years now, we certainly agree that Carolina barbecue is addictive.
