re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

It tastes like no other BBQ sauce I've ever had. Its not your run of the mill BBQ sauce. It has a more tangy sweet flavor.

It almost looks like a Buffalo BBQ sauce.
Would you compare it to that?

Famous Dave's Apricot Bourbon - awesome on beef
Kroger KC style Hickory - Surprisingly good, not too sweet, just a solid basic BBQ sauce
American Stockyard KC Pitmaster - A newer find, it's super sweet and super thick, almost like candied BBQ jam, but when you want sweet it's really nice
American Stockyard Harvest Apple - Awesome on a chop, strong apple flavor, not too sweet, with a nice cinnamon-clove

That's last year's BBQ sauce lineup. There's a lot of really good sauces out there, the Famous Dave's and Kroger are two go-to sauces that I'd like to keep on hand all the time.

I mean is it spicy? Is it vinegary? Is it sweet?

It has a slight spice in it, mild sweet flavor, lil vinegar tangy, dice onions in it also, and mustard hints throughout. It is honestly hard to explain. Here is how they explain it.

"Jack Miller's Bar-B-Que Sauce is a unique blend of seventeen individual products. The mixture is cooked slowly in our kettles until it becomes the rich, thick, tangy product that has made it so famous in south Louisiana for over four decades. It enhances the flavor of any kind of meat, whether barbecued on an open grill outdoors or cooked in the oven. It can be used in all kinds of recipes or as a condiment for burgers and other sandwiches. "

It is a thinner sauce, but the onions give it some substance once applied.

I make my own sauces and rubs. I have bought some Famous Daves rich and sassy and I liked it. I'm more of a mop guy though. Mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, worcestershire, hot sauce etc...

For chicken I use rubs, I don't put BBQ sauce on it. For Ribs I make my own tomato based, tomato sauce, brown suger, hit of maple syrup, etc...

For steaks and tri tip I'm a salt and pepper guy.

1 cup Apple Cider Vin
1 cup white vin
a couple pinches of garlic and salt
teaspoon red pepper flakes
heaping table spoon of brown sugar
texas pete hot sauce to taste has to be texas pete
cover the top in black pepper and stir

sit in the fridge for 2 days before using.
Thats how I make my eastern NC BBQ sauce. If you have never had this you can roast a pork shoulder, shred it, and put some on. Its not bad on the grill, just low and slow.

Just wanna say I love this thread.

re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

For ribs I use a modified version of Johnny Trigg's recipe, he puts A LOT of sweet on his ribs, but I back way off this. He uses Tiger sauce, parkay squeeze, brown sugar, and honey, I do Tiger sauce, molasses, and butter. Then for the final hour I do a little honey and more rub.

My pork rub is:
dark brown sugar (dried and granulated*)
cajun seasoning
cumin
chili powder
onion powder (Penzey's toasted onion powder)
garlic powder
black pepper
oregano
cinnamon (just a hint)

*For the brown sugar, dry it either in a very low oven or let it sit out and then put it in the food processor.

For beef I use:
kosher salt
black pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
coriander
celery seed

Tri-Tip in the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker is awesome. Smoked at about 300 degrees for a couple of hours then seared straight over the coals for 5 minutes to finish it off. Let it rest for 10 minutes and enjoy.

Only rub you need is salt, pepper and a few garlic cloves.

re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread

^ How do you like the Smokey Mountain Cooker?

I'm in need of a smoker this summer, and I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money to get a Weber SMC, or get a cheaper Char-Broil type of smoker.

All the reviews of the SMC are great, but it's also $300.
