Confession: I started smoking

Barbecue! Pork shoulder smoked with hickory.

I've been meaning to try home-made BBQ pulled pork for about a year now, but I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to control the heat on my charcoal grill. I finally tried it on Saturday. Smoked the pork for about 4 hours, and finished it simmering in apple cider. The pork came out great.

I tried two different BBQ sauces. One had too much vinegar (home-made), the other was too sweet (pre-made, but you can't buy it in stores... yet). I have some left over scraps and I'm going to try another home made BBQ sauce tomorrow. If the new sauce comes out right I'll probably post a recipe sometime this week.

Anyone have any barbecue/smoking tips to share?
