Our North Carolina Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce, is our most requested recipe EVERY WEEK!!!
North Carolina Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce, This may be one of the Best Carolina style sauces I have ever had. This is a VERY BOLD sauce and is MAGIC on Pulled Pork!
I like to splash it on almost any pork and chicken dish. It’s also great as a mop sauce when grilling pork or chicken or on anything you want a vinegar based sauce instead of the usual tomato based sauce.
This is the best Carolina style sauce I have ever had. We put it in a mason jar in the fridge and it is still good a month later.
I am thinking for the next batch of doubling the red pepper, but this was so good as is, you don’t need to unless you want more zing…
I put it in a mason jar in the fridge and it is still good months later…

North Carolina Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on one of our Grills or Smokers, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

A BBQ SAUCE RECIPE
Directions: North Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce
Pour the vinegar, ketchup and honey with the dry seasoning in a medium saucepan over medium heat until everything dissolves. Turn heat down to low a simmer for about 5 minutes to blend. This will release the oils from your seasonings and let them get all happy with each other. Just need to simmer and stir for a few minutes.

About Our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Monument, Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti

Doing a 10 LB pork butt and this is the BBQ sauce I’m using, Gotta love it.
I love this sauce after I pull a 20# pork shoulder, braised in Yeungling Lager…. I run it as a special at the restaurant all the time. ..w/ fresh grilled hard roll, homeade slaw, and melted cheddar jack.
Thanks Isaiah…
Curious if you’ve tried this with Asian Rice Wine Vinegar? That’s got a sweet quality to it. Might be a good variation.
I’m in the process of making this sauce right now. Noticed it says 1/4 CUP salt. Really? Seems like a lot. Should it be tsp or tbsp? I know, add a little at a time and go from there. Just curios if it’s a typo.
Thanks, André
I know it sounds like a lot but it works out…
Enjoy…
I put the whole 1/4 cup in. Awesome sauce! Thanks so much Ken, it’s perfect!
Love this stuff! No BBQ joints in the area have this kind of sauce. Glad I found this recipe to make my own.
Thanks Ken Enjoy…
What is this primarily used for? Butts? Or on anything?
Mostly Pulled Pork, I have enjoyed on pork loin chops and chicken also…
Just made this while waiting for pork butt to smoke. I L O V E this and my husband thinks I’m a goddess for making it like his G-ma. He said it was good enough to put in a pitcher with ice instead of iced tea. Thank you!
Thank you…
That BBQ sauce on Pork is to kill for, it does not get any better than that.
Thank you Sir…
I am form Ontario Canada, and I will tell you the best Pulled pork sandwich I have ever had was form a shack sitting beside some big Cotton Mill somewhere in the western half of North Carolina. Thatnk you very much for posting this recipe.
I’m from SC and got my sauce from my granddad. I don’t use the ketchup or honey, not into the sweet stuff. I was told he got his recipe from NC but everything I see has some kind of sweetner. Is there a history on this?
Hi Ralph, I am sure there is some kind of history here. It would be fun to check into…

Yes, what he said….
Just made this.
Damn it’s good !!!
Thanks so much.
Great Carolina sauce.
Great Carolina sauce, can’t make enough. Everyone loves it.
We’re from Tenn. originally and my dad would kill a hog, hang it from a tree to drain the blood. Dad and my Uncle would dig a pit and cook the hog in the pit. My Uncle always made the sauce and I’ve tasted some like it, not many, but only ever in Tenn. I’m an Arizona woman and you can’t find any bbq or sauce like Back home. I’m going to try yours and keep my fingers crossed. The only time I get good bbq is when I go visit my sister in Tenn. There is a really good place close to her and they cook all that pig behind the restaurant/ drive thru. Yum Yum sooooo good!!! Can’t way to try yours.
Very nice job!! This is excellent.
This makes the best bbq sauce ever, so good on pulled pork!
This recipe is legit!!! I’ve never had North Carolina style BBQ sauce before trying this, so I was taking a leap of faith that it would be good and oh boy was it ever! Simple ingredients and easy directions. Great food does not have to be compliacted! Thank you!
My family is from Wilson, NC. I grew up on this stuff. I think Ed Mitchell would approve of this! Keep coming with the recipes, I miss my home cooked food!
My family lives in Wilson & we load up on Parker’s BBQ when we come to town!
Do you have a recipe for the NC red slaw?
Sorry Jim….
Try this as a marinade for sliced cucumbers and sweet onions. Brings them to a whole new level!
Wow!!! I never thought of that!!! I do marinade sliced cucumbers and sweet onions so I’ll have to try it…
Thanks
I was thinking of using this in a mason jar and quick pickle for cucumbers and just keep in Fridge…did you ever try it?
This is our most requested recipe. I have used it on pork, chicken and fish. But I haven’t hit any pickles with it… Lol
How long did you keep them in there I’m thinking maybe 24-48 hours
When I do this overnight, then add more as we eat them…
Just made a batch of this. I used smoked kosher salt and pepper flakes I dried this past season. Best I’ve ever had. It’ll be a permanent addition at our house.
That sounds good! I love this sauce as there is so much you can do with it. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing the goodness.
Love, love, love this!!!
Thank you
Thank You…

I was in Raleigh, NC for a good friends wedding and cooked a whole hog. One of his friends brought a few gallons of their homemade NC vinegar sauce to use as a mop and for topping. It was excellent. She would not give us the recipe and me and my buddy said ok. We will figure this out on our own then. We got pretty close but something was off. I remember stumbling across this recipe and giving it a try and it was almost spot on. I kept telling my buddy it needed ketchup to thicken it up a bit but he was adamant about them not using ketchup out there. This is perfect. I do add a dash to taste of worcestershire to it though.
I made this for our community 4th of July picnic. We smoked 2 Boston butts and added the a bit of the sauce as soon we pulled it. Our group raves about how good it was. Thank you for making my pork the hit of the picnic.
This is without a doubt the BEST SAUCE I HAVE EVER HAD. I’ve always wanted a really good vinegar base mop sauce I came up on this and read all the reviews and made some and all I can say is WOW. THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS .
