What are some recommendations of things to see, do, and eat while we’re here?
Obviously plan on trying the BBQ to see how it compares to KC

Home Team BBQ, couple locations. Solid. The more in-thing is now Lewis's.
Charter an inshore half day fishing trip.
Bar hop Shem Creek and walk the docks..
Horsedrawn carriage tour downtown for history and scenery. Unlike Savannah and NOLA, no open containers. Get a yeti tumbler to hide your booze when out and about.
Ft. Moultrie (revolutionary war), Ft. Sumter (first shots of civil war)

I'll add- it's not really beach weather but time a low tide visit to Sullivan;s Island, it's one of the most naturally beautiful beaches in the world, in my opinion. No high rises, all just houses and natural dunes. Just take a good walk. There's also a Home Team BBQ on the island. Directly across the street is Poe's Tavern, known for their burgers but I always get the fish tacos, they are excellent. If you want to catch a flounder, I can tell you where to do that too on the island, but it won't be posted in public here.

Try and then let us know if you like that mustard based bbq sauce they have out there. I don't like it. Hard to beat KC BBQ

The mustard based bbq isn't all that prevalent around Charleston.

paperwasp, I will tell you. But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else.

Had it in Asheville and thought it was really good.
Don’t prefer it, but I’d certainly consider it as an occasional alternative.
That being said, I’ve never been able to buy a bottled version that I like. Maybe it’s something they do preservative-wise or to otherwise make it shelf stable that changes the taste.

Just got back home! I appreciate the recommendations, friend
First day we took your advice and went out to Sullivan’s Island to check out the beach. Beautiful (but windy) day. Then had dinner at Poe’s (fish tacos were great!)
Second day it rained like hell but we visited the Ft. Sumter visitor center downtown before walking up and down King Street for some shopping. Then headed out to Ft. Moultrie as you suggested and did the tour out there. Finally went home to dry out and then had dinner along Shem Creek.
Third day we visited the Drayton plantation and then went back down to King Street for lunch and more shopping. Had dinner at Home Team BBQ out in Mt. Pleasant (loved the sweet red sauce! Tasted like KC. The mustard was good too).
Last day we took the ferry out to Ft. Sumter and toured around, then walked through the USS Yorktown before heading out to the airport.
Once again, huge thanks for the recommendations…it really was a big help
Charleston was great…will absolutely visit again!

Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ in KC is my favorite so far.

Sugar Fire Smokehouse in Valley Park Missouri
Burn Company Jenks OK
Cobbs....used to be Blue Moon in Ponca City OK for pork ribs they have an apple cider based sauce thats my favorite sauce for pork .
Still a lot of places to visit. What is your favorite place?

I tried to hit Oklahoma Joe's on a KCI business trip once, on the recommendation of my host. I had an afternoon flight, showed up at Joe's around 11 and it was already a madhouse so I just went to the airport to day drink on my laptop until my flight. What did I miss? How good actually is it?

The Oklahoma Joes I've had was good but not one of my top favorites. I miss buying their hot BBQ sauce at our local grocery store. Since I retired I don't travel and try as many BBQ places anymore.
One of the guys I would occasionally travel with LOVED BBQ. We would eat it for lunch and supper. I told him I don't care where we eat this week as long as I get to try one pizza place.
