BBQers unite!

My favorite store bought sauce is Ken Davis Smooth and Spicy. It's getting harder to find though. Getting pushed off the shelves by the big boys.

I'd actually like to stumble on a storebought rub I like better so I don't have to mix all this stuff up. Probably would be cheaper too. I havn't come across a store bought sauce I like very well either.

I have been a big fan of Head Country stuff. I buy there sauce by the gallon and there rub by the 32oz container. Not cheap to ship but really love the Hot BBQ sauce. I would rather make my hot wings with there hot BBQ sauce then to use Frank's Red Hot.

Can't claim to be a big fan of most store bought BBQ sauce, but try 'Jim Dandy's' sauce. It is out of this world! May be tough to find On the west side as it is made locally in Western WI, but they sell it all over in the Hudson / Still water area. BBQ University in Baldwin carries it and I believe are the originators.

Some going on smoked chopped pork tonight. May even slather some on a smoked turkey breast I did yesterday also.

Good Luck!

I've gotta try some of the bbq rub recipes you guys posted. I've tried to throw together a rub a bunch of times but I can't get it to come out as good as the "texas bbq rub" that i get on line. Would be nice to save some money and make my own.

Best BBQ rub in texas

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) bottle seasoning salt

1/4 cup paprika

2/3 cup chili powder

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons ground dry mustard

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon dry mesquite flavored seasoning mix

2 tablespoons garlic salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

1.In a large bowl, mix seasoning salt, paprika, chili powder, ginger, nutmeg, dry mustard, cloves, dry mesquite flavored seasoning mix, garlic salt, black pepper and brown sugar.

I've never used this one because I am all about pork and have never BBQed beef. Most Texas BBQ is beef so I would think that this rub would be best on a brisket.

Here's another so called Texas rub recipe.

Ingredients:

•1/4 cup salt

•1/2 cup brown sugar

•1/2 cup chili powder

•2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

•2 tbsp ground cumin

•1 tbsp dry mustard

•1 tsp cayenne pepper

•1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper

Preparation:

Mix together all the ingredients thoroughly. Best if used right away, but if stored, be sure to use a container with an airtight lid.

Hey RRR,

Duck hunting must have been slow this year if you are cooking up chicken legs!

[Big Dave2]

I was just across the street at the meat market and they had a new item, Bacon wrapped stuffed boneless chicken breasts. Yuuuuuuummmmmmmm.

Thanks rumriverrat. Looks to me that smoker does a mighty fine job!

Fun thread.I like the cooking / smoking also.I just built a drum smoker this summer and that is the ticket for me.Get nice long burn times and easy to control.I have a few smokers and 3 grills well even more if you count the table top gassers I have.I will have to watch this thread and see what all everyone is doing.if your interested in smoking and learning more about it give this a Google" Smoking Meat Forums"and watch for the thin blue smoke coming from Monticello.

[Big Dave2]

Got any pics of your drum? Especially action shots!

[merkman]

The BBQ my dad built.

[merkman]

Grillin on the lake last year.

[Big Dave2]

Sweeeeeeeeet!

Now thats what I'm talkin about!

[catfishkid]

these are a couple of bbq pits I made a few years ago. I am cooking right now, and hope to be done before the storm hits.The one photo is from the summer I didnt get a good one of that pit today

[Big Dave2]

Very nice! I especially like the food pics!

[merkman]

Sweet!!

That's nice to see all those butts on that smoker.I started my drum tonight about 11:30 pm.and put the 2 butts on 12:30 or so and I'm just dialing it in at 225/250* for the night .I thought it might be better to start these at midnight and have them done for sure 3:00pm they can rest for hours and still be pulled very warm.This is the first pork shoulder(butt) that I have done ,so a late night is worth it .then I'm throwing a beef brisket on tomorrow also

I have different pictures of this drum build and some thing I have smoked in it but can never figure out the posting of pictures.Merry Christmas FM,Metro
