The concept that beef isn't BBQ is just laughable. BBQ is pork, beef, and chicken. If you go to Kentucky it is also mutton but that stuff isn't going to ever beat out pork or beef. If it is made of meat and smoked with indirect heat it is BBQ. The difficulty level of getting brisket properly cooked as compared to pulled pork is also huge but worth it.
The other test is BBQ is not great if it requires sauce or is overly sweet. Anyone can throw a sauce to cover up dry meat or they can put a ton of brown sugar on it to make it taste sweet. The meat must stand on its own and then you can add sauce as an enhancement if you like.
The best BBQ in the world is in Central Texas. You have places like Franklin's in Austin, Kreutz's, Smitty's, and Black's in Lockhart, City Market in Luling, Salt Lick in Driftwood, and my personal favorite Snow's in Lexington (which is only open on Saturdays). Best in CS is Fargos.
Personally though I love pulled pork and brisket. I agree most Texans don't appreciate proper pulled pork because it is hard to find here. This is some of mine though:

I like to see that you put cole slaw on your sammich. I grew up thinking that was standard, but you would be surprised at how many folks don't do that.

I have to ask because you didn't list it. Have you had barbeque at Coopers, in Llano?
Martins in Bryan? Fargos moved in after I left and I haven't tried it but aside from the rant, I haven't heard any family or friends in BCS talk about it either.

City market in Giddings isn't too bad as well. There is a place on US 59 between Hiljie and Louise called Mustang Creek (not Prasek's) that is damn good too.
Oh, and if it needs sauce, it ain't good 'cue. Kind of like putting ketchup on a steak.
