I'm sitting on two small bottles of habanero vinegar (with the mother) that are both at least ten years old. I make it from apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, green onion, and sea salt. The peppers take many months to break down into a brown, chunky looking sludge. Then it's strained, reserved, and refreshened with new peppers and the rest. Repeat this process over several years, all the while "sampling" on some pork tenderloin, and you will have some amazing depth of flavor.

I'm form NC, we do not fuck around when it comes to vinegar on pork. No Sir !

I have no idea where I am
This.... this is the correct answer.

To me, douching meats in barbecue sauce is just covering up poor quality, poorly seasoned or dried out meat. Fight me.
There are BBQ places around here whose idea of seasoning is maybe a little salt and pepper on a butt then hickory smoked. Even Habanero vinegar struggles a bit with it. Personally I like a dry Adobo rub with 1-3 days to marinate then a 9 hour hardwood lump charcoal smoke finished in an Sofrito in the oven.
