Replying to Barbeque

I don't think there are any threads on this, none that I could find anyways. I don't mean throw burgers on the grill BBQ but true Carolina, St. Louis, Memphis, Texas style BBQ? I just got back from competing at Memphis in May finishing 6th in the shoulder division, which was a great experince and taught me alot to improve, met alot of cool people, and reminded me of ski culture as a whole. So who else loves true BBQ and what do you like to cook, cook on, advice, spices, anything Barbeque related.
