Those of you that have not had (Eastern) North Carolina BBQ first-hand should plan a road trip soon, before the good stuff is gone for good.

It is sad, when a rabbel-rousing foreigner (svandamme) argues about BBQ with Americans and gets it right.

Carry on with your arguments,

LOTS of gas fired places around here, only a few still doing it the "right" way. If you're ever in this neck of the woods try Stamey's in Greensboro, about the only place that still uses the old ways.
