Do you like mustard based sauce?

Sweet Mustard BBQ sauce

1 cup prepared mustard

1/2 cup molasses

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon oil

1/4 teaspoon powdered oregano

1/4 teaspoon powdered thyme

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
 
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
 

Combine dry ingredients in a saucepan. Add enough vinegar to make a mixable paste. Mix well. Place over high heat and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If you want to just buy it I recommend KC Materpiece.  They have a spicey one that is awesome.

Dude,

You may know about snails (and being jealous of Americans)- but keep the BBQ to the folks who know- Southerns.  Its an Art form there.

Yeah, tomato-sauce based:

Take some crushed tomatoes, and cook them with a bay leaf, some onions and maybe a clove of garlic or something.  
Throw in a chipotle or two.  Chipotle chiles are great: they give you the kick and a smoky flavor that's real.
Cook it down with a bay leaf.
Throw it in the blender with some honey.

KISS.

On my ribs I like the jack daniels hickory smoke house blend.  Its got a spice and a good sweatness to it.  

Somtimes I mix two bottles of it together with a cup of honey a teaspoon of soice sauce a touch of liquid smoke and a cup or so of beer.

Boil the ribs in that sauce with one onion for 45 minutes than grill for ten..


Mmmmm Riiiiibbbbsssss

Barbecue is said in many ways. An educated gentleman of the New World should have a certain familiarity with the basic schools of barbecue.
Of course, proficiency in one method or another, while not necessary, is always a praiseworthy quality, and reflects well on one's natural endowments.

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:
http://www.dixiedining.com

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.

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.
