Lonnie,
Try here. I love all Q. But this was my favorite.
Shulers in Latta SC.
I was skeptical hippo when I saw the buffet. But dang it was good.
But ive only had bad barbecue about 4 Times in my life.
And the other thousands of times it’s been great.
Memphis
South GA (the Georgia Pig in Brunswick was super)
Texas
NC
SC
Even VA has awesome Q (pierces)
AL
MS
Truth is……southerners KNOW how to create numerous methods to slow smoke a masterpiece.

Lewis BBQ in Charleston is some first rate Texas BBQ. It’s excellent. You SC boys need to eat there.

So you go all the way to Charleston, one of the best food cities in the country, and you order what you can get at home?
Gotcha.

Why won’t any of you just have a normal conversation rather than only and always posting stupid shite? First, I don’t even live in Texas. Second, I had Lewis bbq once, while visiting a friend in Charleston.
You people are exhausting. Like I’m playing cards with my brothers kids.

I just may need to fire up the smoker this weekend

Dude, I'm just messing with ya. I mean, it's "rivalry week" (even if it's a forced, fake rivalry). Our side can't really talk smack about football in this one, because we're 0-fer.
So the difference in "BBQ" style is all that's open to debate. Just roll with it and have fun....

You can't love Franklin's and utterly dismiss Pecan Lodge and not be talking out of your arse completely.
I of course prefer the old school Farmer's Market days of Pecan Lodge and Justin has definitely gone more corporate (as has Aaron Franklin) but they both run top notch BBQ efforts.
Other North Texas options to consider:
Cattleack is mythical as it only opens on Thursday and Friday and the 1st Saturday but sells out quick and the lines are endless. Still, amazing if you have the patience.
Slow Bone is also good.
I don't know anything about Goldee's and was surprised it took the top spot in Texas Monthly. The place will probably explode now.
And here is my heretical take on BBQ dogma - Hill Country BBQ is good but not as good as the media and folks from elsewhere in the country make it out to be.
It was the strangest thing seeing all these podunk operations my Dad would take me to in the 1980s suddenly become iconic eateries.

I thought about mentioning Cattleack, but I haven't been in years, so I wasn't sure it was still up to par. Pecan Lodge is definitely solid.
But DFW does seem to fall short of the rest of the state in top notch BBQ options for some reason. Too many out of staters who don't appreciate it maybe.

I'll throw out another often overlooked gem outside of the hill country.
Stanley's in Tyler, TX. Awesome BBQ, without all the nonsense that comes with the famous BBQ places. Usually under 15 min in line at lunch time.
I think it flies under the radar because it doubles as a bar/music venue. But their BBQ is top notch.

It is still great . . . . we lived pretty close by and my wife and I will bring out the chairs and endure the line every now and then.
Some smart dude opened a micro-brewery pretty close by and he takes orders while you wait in line.
I feel like the original Dallas standbys from my youth went corporate pretty quickly - Dickey's and Sonny Bryan's were once little hole in the wall joints. Dickey's is basically McDonalds now with its national footprint.
We did Hard 8 in Coppell and it was pretty good but way too big . . . . it has that whole Grapevine Bass Pro Shop/Great Wolf Lodge size to it.

Using mustard as a light slather on the meat helps hold a good rub on the meat.
On pork, I like to use honey as a binder rather than mustard. You still get that bit of sweetness.

Cool, but you have to be careful with any sugar based product that it doesn't caramelize and turn bitter during the smoking process.

Hasn't happened yet. I mainly use it for my boston butts and ribs. Sometimes a loin but not often.

Yeah, I'm going to have to take a gander in the freezer when I get home

Brisket is one of the most hit-or-miss meats IMO.
Done right, it's divine.
But too many times it's cut fatty and overcooked to the point of drying out.
I agree, which I never get.
BBQ is so incredibly forgiving. How people so routinely screw it up I'll never know.

Makes me wonder if you've ever had good beef ribs. They're life changing! I have always LOVED good brisket, but it was a beef rib at Black's when I was 30 that made me fall in love with smoked meats. They're unbelievable. Decadent.

I went to Hard 8 in Coppell one time. The meats were all tough and dry. Never went back.
I do miss the days when Sonny Bryans was decent. Great little atmosphere with the old desks and close to downtown. But they're running full speed down the Dickeys pathway. Food quality isn't nearly what it was even 5-6 years ago. Sad.
