Carolina BBQ Mop Sauce
Please read this.
So many options, so many variables, so little time, so let's get started.
Half of these ingredients are able to be substituted for something else. Every choice you make will affect the end result, so I suggest making a few different jars, labeling the jars and taking notes; you'd hate yourself if you created something magical and forgot what went in it.
Vinegar. Either white or apple cider. So very different.
Sugar: White, Light or Dark Brown. Oh, the decisions that must be made.
Crushed Peppers: but seriously, aren't there hundreds of pepper varieties? Yes, yes there are. Choose wisely.
Hot Sauce: Again? Really?!? Maybe try something easy the first time, like Frank's™ or Tabasco™ but don't be afraid to try all different kinds.
It is important to let this sit for at least 24 hours before serving, and the longer the better. A week would be great if you can handle the waiting.
Use this mop on baby back or spare ribs, pit beef, or really whatever you'd like.

Optional: for thicker mop, for basting, heat sauce and stir in softened butter. But, only do this immediately before serving, discard any unused sauce afterwards. Also, use a separate cup for your basting and serving or you'll cross-contaminate your food

Carolina BBQ Sauce Carolina BBQ Sauce
I've been smoking bbq for about 4 years now and I've tried every iteration of sauce under the sun, and this has become my favorite so far, bought or homemade.This sauce is made for pulled pork and combines the liquid tang of western Carolina style sauce with the subtle tomato sweetness of an eastern Carolina style sauce (Lexington dip). Best of both worlds.

Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce
My version of homemade Carolina-style BBQ sauce, which pays homage to all 3 regional styles of Eastern, Southern, and Western Carolinas. The basic foundation of this sauce is vinegar, tomato (ketchup), and mustard tastes ... with a balance of citrus-sweetness (fruit) and heat (peppers).I prepare this each year (64oz) for a full-season of outdoor grilling or smoking. It’s not the full ingredient recipe mind you, but what the heck; it’s a good foundational start for you.

This story of sauces moves eastwards now from the thick and sweet Kansas City BBQ to the thinner and tangy Memphis Style BBQ. Another champion of versatility, it's thinness allows it to bake into a tasty sheen. Great for any BBQ from ribs to chicken, can also be used as a dipping sauce. -
