From NC so smoked pork butt is the staple. That said, having a narrow minded view regarding a good brisket is self destructive.  Wouldn’t turn down either one. 

It’s a misconception that you can’t get good brisket in NC.  Pork is king around here for sure, but we ain’t no strangers to beef.

Yep. But restaurants are hit and miss with both pork and beef IMO.  Backyard smoker is the best.

So why are ribs not called bbq?

Sure is. I got a pellet grill a couple of years ago and it is the easiest thing ever for making excellent butts and shoulders, all that stuff and more. It is kind of unbelievable what comes out if I just follow instructions.

Ribs definitely are bbq.  

What some people call bbq is just any old meat cooked outside on a bbq grill they call it. A charcoal grill. It could be hot dogs and hamburgers and that’s bbq. Those people normally aren’t from the south.
