I've been to some great BBQ places all over Texas, florida georgia, Colorado, Nebraska, California and everwere else I've been I hardly think being from memphis (great BBq as well) or Kansas city qualifies you to know anything about BBQ.

I currently live in NE Florida but I used to work for a company that specialized in installing "wire drawing machines". I have been all over the South installing these. Most of the plants were at small rural rowns in the middle of nowhere. We would live out of hotels 6-9 weeks at a time. You would be amazed at the variety of "bbq sauces" even within specific "regions". I dont think I ever had any that were bad.

Its a matter of taste. I used to love the red sweet tangy suaces now I prefer more mustard base sauces. I like rubs as well.

There's more good brands you can buy. But a good BBQ sauce is for the most part simple.

Ever year we smoke a whole hog fresh from the farm. Smeared with and apple butter / burben extract / crushed red peper sauce that is so damned good I want some right now.

damn batz, heck I'm hungry.

BTW, for those of you "on the road" in certain parts of the south, I recommend:

I've confirmed a few of their recommendations both ways. That is, I've gone to places because they're listed there, and found them _damn good_, and I've gone to _damn good_ places, then checked and found them listed there.

Speaking as a snob, who enjoys a good pate' de foie gras with a bottle of sauternes, Barbecue is a national treasure, and one that admits of many variations.

(and jeezus guys, lay off the liquid smoke. If you _have_ to have smokiness in the sauce, use chile chipotles. hmmmm... or islay single malt....).

Well, having a liking for goose liver disqualifies you, but if you're ever in the SW Oklahoma area, check out John and Cooks, that place rocks when it comes to BBQ.

Didn't Curval have a BBQ testing session awhile back?

lol yup no liquid smoke, take some onions or your favorite peppers or sundried tomatos (soak umm first) etc and put them on the grill until they are nice and roasted. Add that to your sauce, thats all the "smoke" you will need.
