As a traveler to the North Carolina area on a monthly basis, I found two holes in the wall places that were very tasty.
Dickie-Do's BBQ in Haw River
Byrd's Barbecue near Durham

Finally made it to Heim in Fort Worth - spectacular food. I haven't made it over to Pecan Lodge, but I've heard people say that Heim's brisket is a bit better. The bacon burnt ends are unreal.
Can grab a beer from the outside counter while waiting in line too

Not the best-but a fun event. Beer, Bourbon and BBQ festival in Baltimore this weekend.
http://www.beerandbourbon.com/home
It's a tour. $49.99 you get a glass to sample (no exaggeration) 100+ beers and bourbons from around the country. Food is paid, but it was good. I had some good brisket and ribs. Plus a plate of oysters. My son and I had a great afternoon. He's in walking distance of the event. Then my wife picked me up.
Each bourbon sample is a shot, each beer sample about 6 oz. You can have as much as you like.

Hit up Bogart's Smokehouse in St. Louis last weekend and had the best ribs I've ever had. Furthermore, they do a pretty good burnt ends for not being in St. Louis. Slaw was also excellent though the potato salad was a little below par.
I do wish they had beer though

OT for this thread, of course, but I recall this place in TUS being worth a stop: https://goo.gl/maps/MaoaaS3qEMU2

Another good BBQ place that may be more agreeable to people (Phil's sometimes isn't seen as authentic) is Coop's BBQ over in Lemon Grove.

They do carry his sauce at the local Costco's (or at least did). Might still have a bottle at home (but probably gone). I like mine sweeter and spicier myself.

Need help choosing some BBQ sauce. I want to order maybe five or six bottles from www.thekansascitybbqstore.com. Last year I brought maybe six or seven bottles back to the UK and found that we really liked Joe's, Smokehouse, and Q39's spicy variety. Did not care for the vinegar types like Arthur Bryant's and thought Gates was the worst of the bunch. So, maybe something in style to the other three? Also, not Stubbs, KC Masterpiece, Jack Daniels, or any that are severely mass marketed.
