I wanted to experience the flavor of real pit cooked BBQ Chicken doing it in the style of how whole hog cooking is done, especially in South Carolina Pee Dee area. I used my Weber Smokey Mountain, and set it up to shovel in red hot burned oak wood coals through the access door underneath the meat which is at 20 inches above the coals. For chicken, it required refiring the coals about 5 times in approx. 30 minute intervals. The flavor you get from the oak coals is infused into the meat producing a flavor you get no other way, and is delicious. Other methods are great including smoking meat, but this is a stand alone method and you come away with an entire new experience on pork and chicken.

BBQ Sauce Recipe (forgot-I had two qts of the Carolina sauce)
the first part of this recipe makes a quart. Mixed with the other two sauces made up a half gallon of sauce you saw in the video. If you don't need that much you can cut everything in half.
I had two recipes of this. (2 quarts) Listed in the top section below is only one recipe of the Carolina vinegar sauce
Carolina Vinegar Sauce
1 1/2 Cups distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 Cups apple cidar vinegar
1 cup ketshup
3 Tbs hot sauce
1 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbs red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1 Tbs Lemon juice
I mixed these two store bought sauces below with the 2 quarts of Carolina Vinegar Sauce above to make about a half gallon of sauce.
Add 1 pint bottle of Prosser's Original BBQ Sauce
Add 1/2 pint bottle of Richard's Mustard BBQ Sauce
Stir together in pot, then bring to just a simmer for 3 minutes. Do not let boil hard. Remove from heat and bottle in a couple quart mason jars, or in a half gallon plastic jug with a screw on cap.
Will keep in fridge for several weeks.
