Ingredients
- 4 ounces applewood-smoked bacon (in one piece), cut into large chunks

This is WESTERN North Carolina BBQ, if you want an authentic EASTERN recipe, look for the Pulled Pork recipe on Racheal Ray's $40 a Day. It's vinegar-based sans ketchup and sugar, with customizable heat. Add it to a slow-smoked pork shoulder, or do a whole hog for a classic 'pig pickin' Tarheel style!
