I apologize - I thought everybody knew that barbeque is _always_ pulled pork shoulder, and that “kinds” of barbeque are obviously very sacred and emotionally important sauces. Vinegar-based, mustard-based, and tomato-based.

(hides under table from Texans and Memphiseans and such degenerates)

You’ll get no argument from me, but I didn’t want to confuse any international folks and/or west coasters who may be following along.

Forget the Civil War stuff. Lots of _Revolutionary_ War history in SC. Much more than most people realize. Critical battles (and very nice visitor centers) at [Cowpens](http://www.nps.gov/cowp/) and [King’s Mountain](http://www.nps.gov/kimo/) and [Ninety Six](http://www.nps.gov/nisi/).

According to a book I owned in first grade, South Carolina was the site of more Revolutionary War battles than any other state.

Be sure to give us an update. I’ve got a whole shoulder on the smoker as we speak.
