Sorry about the BQ vs BBQ. We plan to get enough BBQ to feed about 30 people and carry it to Isle of Palms, where we will have a family meeting. Then will camp in SC for about a month.

Any place south (?) of Orangerburg will do. As I said we often stop at Sweatman, but not this time.

When we lived in Texas in the early 1960s, my dad had a foolproof method for finding good bbq on the road -- look for smoke drifting across the highway! These were two lane blacktop country roads, not interstates.

Then, when you find the source of the smoke, check out the parking lot -- if there were beat up old pickups crowding the lot, the food was good. If there were shiny new pickups or hardly anyone in the lot, keep driving.

Look for Duke's BBQ. There are some of them on the I-26 route. I think there is one at the Orangeburg exit at Hwy 601.

"BQ?" Never heard it that way and I'm from Minnesota. :w
In the South they use "BBQ": if you ask people there for BQ they won't know what you're talking about.

Excellence can vary for any given restaurant at any given time so reputation is not always consistent. Can't remember how many times we heard a restaurant is a must visit only to eat there and be sorely disappointed.

We do 2 things to get good recommendations.
1. Plan our route and stops.
2. Then ask the locals.
We often discover a great new place that never made it to the FoodNetworks' spotlight shows.
