Poggly- I agree. The Jones family is carrying on the tradition that Pete started. The Skylight Inn is the best that I have ever had.
I'm very happy the younger generation there will be upholding the tradition. One of his grandson's was working the counter last time I was there. I should be set now until I kick the bucket
I'm sure they'll sell you a bag of their cue if you like it so much. After all, it does come into the restaurant frozen.

Just as a clarification, the Pit also serves pulled pork. If you don't like it chopped (up into little bits, as complained about before) why order it that way. Just order it pulled!

I was aware of what was on the menu. I am a huge fan of any kind of pork cooked slow and smoked. I've been to local joints in Tennessee and Texas, a luau pig roast in Maui, smoked my own Boston Butt and ribs over a log fire, but I had yet to try Eastern Carolina Barbecue. Don't take my comments as a complaint, just an observation. I haven't given up on it yet.
Anyone tried the fried chicken at the Pit? What about the Baby backs, are they dry rubbed or do you really need to get them with sauce? I know Ed's specialty is spare ribs, but I am curious about both.
My daddy had the the fried chicken and said it was wonderful. I have had the barbecue chicken and it was fall off the bone and super tasty. I too would like to try the spare ribs. The PR and Crowley's on Medlin drive have my favorite baby back ribs in Raleigh.
