Darn, it's only 8:00 AM and I'm hungry for BBQ. Red hot texas, preferred!

mouth watering after just eating a few eggs

Zarda's spicy from Blue Spring, MO..

[Asphalt]

actually, I bet pissant's special sauce makes a better marinade than any of these

[jocon307]

Stubbs is the best! I found it, and even fussy hubby approves. Excellent for marinating a london broil.

[cardinal4]

Ill bet that Southwest one is pretty good with the salsa base. The Hawaiian looks pretty good, too..

[Asphalt]

they all sound good enough to eat for breakfast

I LOVE KC Masterpiece Honey Smoke sauce...sweet & spicy at the same time!

I've actually got a copy of my Granddaddy's Bar B Que sauce recipe, (though I've never made it). He owned his own Bar B Que place...from what my Mom told me several years ago, it was a popular local place to go for lunch.

A good read..thanks..seems to me that even before you can have a debate/discussion about barbecues sauces, you first have to decide the merits of "wet" vs. "dry" rubs. That's where the intensity of flavor comes from..everything gets sauced at the end...

My favorite treick, for ribs, when I don't have time to cook 'em for a few hours, is to parboil them first..bring the pot of water to a boil..drop the sheet of ribs in..bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer..cover for 30 minutes..rinse, drain, dry..then..proceed as normal..makes them vry tender..

I agree. Stubbs Beef Marinade is the way to go on the grill. Out here the Costco stores sell flank steaks stuffed with portabella mushrooms and bacon. I marinate those in Stubbs overnite, pure carnivore heaven.

[pissant]

Yes. BBQ with eggs doesn't sound half bad

I love these food threads, regardless of the purpose for posting them.
I have never considered cooking a paatime or a pleasure, but I must be mellowing...

One of these days I will have dozens of recipes to try.

[pissant]

I'll have to see if its available in Wash. St.

[pissant]

Yes, I have an excellent recipe for BBQ sauce.

[pissant]

I marinated a flank in stubbs a few months ago. Pretty tasty for store bought.

[pissant]

It seems most Kansas City based BBQ sauces have alot of sweetness. It's pretty good, though I prefer less sweet and more sweat! ;o)

[Asphalt]

Somehow it doesn't surprise me.

[pissant]

Indeed. Parboil, then smoke at low temps for a long time. Yum!

The rub is good for penetrating the meat. But I gotta have a good sauce slathered on as well.

And I'd like a pulled pork sandwich to go with it!
