  • Carolina (Vinegar) BBQ Sauce

    Carolina (Vinegar) BBQ Sauce

    by: 

    This is my go to sauce for just about everything.  I don’t typically use it for beef, but it goes great with nearly anything else.  Pair this with my Magical Meat Sprinkles seasoning and you’ve got a winning combination.  This sauce is mustard/vinegar based just like Carolina style sauce, but has a heavier consistency making…

  • Kansas City (Sweet) BBQ Sauce

    Kansas City (Sweet) BBQ Sauce

    by: 

    This sweet Kansas City style BBQ sauce is delicious. Inspired after making meatballs and adding grape jelly, I thought, why not in BBQ sauce. Works wonderfully with chicken and pork. Just a good with fries or tots!!

  • Ribs

    Ribs

    by: 

    Ribs are a staple for BBQing and smoking.  I worked on my ribs for some time, trying different methods, before finally getting them the way I like.  Lots of BBQ purists indicate that your ribs shouldn’t just pull apart, but rather, still be pretty firm, but pull freely when you eat them.  I prefer them…

  • Bacon Butter Paste

    Bacon Butter Paste

    by: 

    Just about any butter paste promises to add lots of flavor to your meat, but add bacon and it’s just that much better.  This thick paste rubs on to turkey or chicken to add lots of flavor and moisture.

  • Rib Sauce

    Rib Sauce

    by: 

    I needed a good sauce for brushing on my ribs the last 30-60 minutes of cooking. I put this together using the traditional ketchup, but I wanted to reduce the sweetness to prevent taking away from the flavor of the ribs.  The sautéed onions in this recipe do this perfectly, leaving you with a great…

  • Four Score Beef Rub

    Four Score Beef Rub

    by: 

    For quite some time this was just referred to as “Beef Rub”. I needed an official name and finally “Four Score” was added as a result of most of the ingredients start with 4. This is amazing on brisket and I frequently use it on London broil as well when we’re making beef tacos.

  • Pepper Marinade

    Pepper Marinade

    by: 

    I don’t make this marinade very often, although I wish that wasn’t the case. I’ve used it on beef jerky to give it a nice peppery finish. It’s probably one of my favorite seasonings but it provides more kick than the rest of the family cares for. Alas, that means it mostly sits on the…

  • Magical Meat Sprinkles

    Magical Meat Sprinkles

    by: 

    This is my favorite rub, and it tastes good on just about everything. This is my go-to rub for pork shoulders, but it’s also great on chicken and even beef. I keep an extra shaker around for sprinkling it on eggs, vegetables and anything that I’m about to eat. One batch will do about two…

  • Alabama White BBQ Sauce

    Alabama White BBQ Sauce

    by: 

    Creamy and tangy, this sauce goes great on beef, chicken and just about anything else you put it on. I was out at a smokehouse restaurant once when I tried an Alabama White sauce the first time. I immediately came home and worked to recreate it. Did I get it right??? I think it’s even…
