“I've used this recipe 3 times and the results have been great every time. I make the non-tomato version of the sauce and combine with a vinegar based coleslaw recipe. I've also tried different store_bought versions of Carolina Gold sauce that go well with ” — a cook, 5.0★
“We made this in our electric outdoor smoker over the Memorial Day weekend. It came out exceptionally good. For the barbecue sauce, I cut back a bit on the red pepper flakes and I also added some honey. It was really great and everybody loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐” — a cook, 4.0★
