All Purpose Mop for all Barbecue Meats
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (like Texas Pete or Tabasco)
1/2 quart Worcestershire sauce
1/2 pint vinegar
2 quarts beef bone stock
1/2 pint vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons MSG (optional)
To make bone stock, buy stout beef bones and bake them in a medium oven for about 2 hours then boil them in water. Add all the other ingredients to the bone stock and let mixture stand overnight in the refrigerator before using. You can use canned beef stock, but it's not as good.
Use this mop to baste meats while cooking. Keep leftover mop refrigerated.

Hey thanks, I think you've got it! Except for the beef stock, which I know my dad didn't use, that looks like his "sop". There won't be any MSG in mine either. (I wish they would outlaw that cr*p. )
