I agree completely. I like making my own sauce too, I made four different ones for last weekend, but if I don't have the time or I'm just cooking for the wife and me, I always have a bottle or two of SBR's on hand.Smoked two slabs of BB's and one slab of STL. spares yesterday using 50/50 cherry/ pecan. Rubbed with my homemade rub. With about 45 minutes left brushed on some Sweet Baby Ray's. I like making my own sauce but SBR's is hard to beat IMHO.
I hear ya, brother. I haven't had all store bought sauces but I haven't found one I like any better.I agree completely.

Here are several sauces I make:I hear ya, brother. I haven't had all store bought sauces but I haven't found one I like any better.
You wouldn't mind sharing a couple sauce recipe's, would ya? I'm always looking for another good bbq sauce.
Thanks for these! I will do a batch of these soon. My wife loves mustard sauce and I don't have what I would call a good recipe.Here are several sauces I make:
Sweet BBQ Sauce
2 cups catsup
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp bbq rub
1 tbsp Cholula sauce
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Combine all and simmer for at least 20 minutes.
It's a pretty basic, but delicious bbq sauce that goes well on anything.
Apple and molasses glaze
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup bbq sauce
Combine and simmer.
This glaze works well with ribs and chicken. I add some balsamic vinegar and put it on pork chops, or some cranberry sauce and glaze the smoked turkey breasts for Thanksgiving.
Mustard sauce
1 1/2 cups mustard
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp catsup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp smoked paprika
Combine and simmer.
Goes great with pulled pork. It's fantastic on chicken wings. Hell, I'll drizzle it on french fries.
Hot vinegar sauce
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp catsup
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsp ancho chili powder
Combine vinegar, hot water, and brown sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, and park in the fridge overnight so all the flavors combine.
This is my favorite way to dress a pulled pork sandwich. Douse it with this, put some slaw on top. Oh man!
Enjoy!
Mighty fine spread, brother!I just found this thread and I love it. I just picked up a smoker last week and I recently made a brisket. 7.5 pounds and I started it at 4am for the party I was having. Just a simple salt and pepper rub down and I used hickory wood for the smoke.

The result was delicious. It was very tender and juicy. The flavor was great. Needless to say, there were no leftovers.

I enjoy cooking, here was the rest of the spread: Mac and Cheese (3 cheeses mixed with evap milk, paprika, and cayenne pepper), Baked beans with bacon, the brisket, Farm fresh corn (boiled on the cob and then fried up with onions and peppers), and lastly home made pasta salad.

I've only used it the one time and it was great. The temp held perfect the entire cook time. The smoke box could be improved since only the back half would burn. The best part is that I bought it open box for 20 bucks. I had to fix a few things and I need to buy new racks but well worth the purchaseMighty fine spread, brother!
How do you like your Smoke Hollow?
I have the two burner model and love it!
20.00? Damn! That's a good haul. You can buy racks anywhere and cut them to size. good luck on the improvements.I've only used it the one time and it was great.

I don't want to hijack the thread but I frequent an online auction that deals with amazon returns. Good deals to be had but you take the risk in buying as-is. PM me if you want to know more.20.00?
