B.T's Smokehouse in Sturbridge, MA. The quality of their pork is top notch and the best within a 100 mile radius. This coming from someone who has been to a lot of great BBQ places in southern new England. I gladly take the 1 hour trek up to B.T's once a month.

I prefer Blue Ribbon BBQ to Redbones. Orinoco has a good shredded beef dish called Pabellon Criollo that is similar to pulled pork (though not traditional barbecue).

IMHO, Soulfire is the best around!

Firefly's is great. And I was surprised by the pork at Kinsale. Very good.

My go-to spot for pulled pork is Blue Ribbon Barbeque in Arlington. And everything else they serve is tops as well. Best ribs north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Buck's Naked Barbecue in Freeport ME should be on the short list. Also for their brisket. Neither needs any sauce.

For nearly all BBQ, I prefer Blackstrap in Winthrop but specifically for pulled pork, I think Blue Ribbon wins out - we use them for catering at the office and they always get rave reviews on their pulled pork. I've only had it once at Sweet Cheeks and it was excellent but I need repeated visits.

BT's Smokehouse is da bomb! I first heard about them on some bar-b-que show on the Travel Channel. Stopped on my way home from CT and was hooked. There is nothing they make that isn't awesome - oh yeah, and they make these balls of deliciousness that I can't remember what they are called but they are basically Mac-n-cheese and pulled pork mushed together, breaded and fried. Heaven.
