The Greatest Barbecue Sauce Ever

[pdub]

I'm not kidding - the greatest barbecue sauce ever, and you don't have to buy it.

We had pork back ribs tonight. Straight off the grill. Fantastic. By the clock, one hour twenty minutes. With 30 minutes to go, start smearing this stuff on them with a brush, about every 8 or 10 minutes:

HEINZ Ketchup - a very big glob in a bowl
Olive oil: A great big splash, not too much
French's Worchershire sauce: A huge splash, lots
Distilled vinegar, another huge splash, make it all float
Garlic powder - lots
Onion powder - lots
Salt - a whole bunch
Black pepper - a bunch
Brown sugar - a bunch, enough to piss off the other ingredients in the bowl
Ground red pepper - a shake or two.....be careful

Whip it all up in the bowl.

I'm gonna start marketing this stuff, it's just too GOOD. Just sayin.....my next career may be in barbecue sauce. And please don't share the recipe..

Ummmm..... Kraft is 99 cents.

Ummmm..... Kraft is 99 cents.

And you get what you pay for.

NO WAY would I use ketchup in a BBQ sauce..... Besides, I'm a rub guy. I have a mix I call Lucky 13, and lots of guys around here have tried it and given me a thumbs up on it. Using it with mustard gives it a great kick!

[pdub]

Yeah, but those were some ribs to die for. I mean, they were good. I've got the ingredients written down, but the proportions.....I'm not so sure the "how much" is all that important. Just throw it in and mix it up. Only just sayin.

[oletrux4evr]

water
light corn syrup
tomato paste
vinegar
molasses
brown sugar
liquid smoke
salt
onion powder
garlic powder
black pepper
cayenne

Kicker sauce. Measurements are my secret.

[studemax]

I won't buy ribs.... Don't want to pay for the bones. The only meats I buy with bones in them is chicken and ham.

It's primal Stude. The need to grunt while you chew the meat off of the bone. Caveman stuff. Get with the program, seriously.

Smokin' Butt BBQ sauce, local brand... lets me concentrate on smoking...BTW, I agree with Studemax on using a dry rub first.... Famous Dave's Rib Rub..Tammy doesn't even want to go out for BBQ if we're going to be close to home....2 racks of ribs in the fridge for me to smoke on Saturday...
Damn...you guys have made me hungry at 0730....

[studemax]

I made a pastrami out of this corned beef - rubbed with mustard and my Lucky 13 rub, then lots of smoke....

[JOES66FURY]

I make my own rub and my own sauce. I'd tell you whats in it but then I'd have to kill you....and eat you....with my rub and sauce....

[pdub]

Ummmm..... Kraft is 99 cents.

Yep, and it's good. Here's the deal: Tannin. After 20 years, Sue Unit figured out why/when I get all crippled up. She diagnosed it and she fixed it, she sure did. She did what no doctor could ever do, she figured it out. My body (and ONLY my body), and nobody else's body has a severe reaction to tannin.

When I was working, I was on call once every five weeks. That pissed me off 3X. Now I'm "at work" 24/7. No beer. and I'm gonna get crippled up while on duty because I can't have any beer. Well, what Unit realized was during that week I went from beer to tea. I'd drink a half gallon or more of sweet tea every day and by the end of the week I was all hurt up. Hurt up somewhere, hands, feet, neck, back, shoulders, misery. Yelling OW and can't sleep for the pain. Tea is at the TOP of the tannin list.

Tea is the worst - tannin. Nuts (I'd eat whole cans of mixed nuts), mustard, corn, smoke (real or liquid), barley (bread), most spices (i.e. paprika, etc), coloring (annatto is the dye in yellow cheese). The list goes on and on. Barley is big in beer but when they boil it the tannin goes away, I guess. Otherwise I'd be bedridden.

Not long after I got retired, we went to SC seeing everybody. My great friend I used to make music-racket with, he had steaks laid out on the counter. He grinned - you taught me this, he said - liquid smoke. Ohhhh shit. I didn't say anything and we ate it. A few days later my right hand swelled up like a balloon and that's when I had to give that road course track day away, I couldn't drive that way.

SO, I'm not all that artistic and creative that I think that I have to make my own barbecue sauce. But I challenge anyone - go look at the ingredients on barbecue sauces at the store. All of them have liquid smoke in them, or they ain't good at all.

This just in from Benton County Sheriff's department. I think we can claim "lunch"
