Easy now, Tex. We're not all pulled pork and sweet sauce up here. 
There's Lexington-style:
Lexington-style barbecue is made with pork shoulder cooked slowly over a hardwood fire, usually hickory wood. It is basted in a sauce (called "dip" locally) made with vinegar, ketchup, water, salt, pepper and other spices.
There's Eastern-style, with a sauce like this:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (Texas Pete is made in NC)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
But the best part of all is a sammidge made from the hog skin that stuck to the grill grate and scorched just a little in between two halves of one of yesterday's biscuits with a great big slice of a Georgia Vidalia onion.
Mercy indeed.
