Tiger Sauce is a staple at my house, like salt,pepper and Tony's seasoning.

Grandson likes it on his popcorn.

How do you know what is in the containers? I reuse my old spice containers for all sorts of different spices. He could have a mix of garlic powder, mustard poder, and onioin powder in a container. Just saying.

Interesting. I see two things in there that I dont currently do. Thanks

BTW, I used Try Me's Cajun Sunshine Hot Pepper Sauce in my chili this past wknd and it was awesome!

The info is what it is: a glimpse into the processes of a champion BBQ cook. It can always be tailored to someone's personal preference.

Yeah he likes my style of ribs. We use the same temp and preferences to salt and pepper.

At comps I made the same ribs as he did with the exception of the tiger sauce. I used something else. Oh... one thing... In Texas contests I never cooked them this way.

I hear now days though, now that the regions have been muddied a bit and even Texas is now getting sort of the typical ignorant judges these days (this is due to the explosion of BBQ contests to an extent that we have exhausted experienced judges) that these types of sweet ribs are showing up even here in Texas.

I bet trig does these here now too. I saw he did them in that araizona contest and I was shocked.

Times change I guess.

That being said... I am so sick of my ribs these days I intend to do triggs ribs with my old additive on my little weber i got from the junk pile.

No way of really knowing. I too re-use spice containers, but I make a point to remove the labels when I do (serves as a reminder).

Heck, anything is possible. He could be refilling the parkay bottles with banana pudding, but something tells me what's on the label is what's inside.

Regardless, I have always subscribed to this theory:
It's OK to share your BBQ recipes because BBQ folks are too proud to use somebody's exact recipe anyway.

Hell, I will just go ahead and tell you straight up.

Redneck cooking - simple chit.

Trigg wins because so many bozos go off the path and get too damn creative. They use too many spices (yeah I am ashamed too as my damn glitter has 13 ingredients, lawrys has what> 8, and dalmatian rub has 5 if its simple (lemon pepper has like three at least)) - they buy fresh, they grind them,, they make elaborate spritzes and chit.

That onion powder or salt was a walmart label. Simple Lawrys,, hell yeah! Parkay, local honey, brown sugar... redneck baby.

You have to think about stuff. if everyones using elaborate chit... and you use simple ass lawrys... tell me, who chit is gonna really stand out?

Remember that passage in the peace love and bbq where the guys were going around tasting other stuff on the gold cart and telling them thats good... then laughing all the way to the trophies as they would say "those idiots have 17 things in their damn rub."

[Boshizzle]

Yep, simple and basic makes good BBQ. I heard someone telling me their rub had 18 spices in it. I was thinking to myself that makes good advertising but all it does to the taste is either nothing because there is so little of many of the spices or it just makes it too "designer". "Prissy" was the actual word that came to mind.

To me, the perfect BBQ is a good cut of meat that is tender, juicy, and meaty with a firm texture seasoned with salt, pepper, and gentle smokiness.

My favorite rub has salt, pepper, garlic and a little paprika. That's it. My sauce has ketchup, vinegar, pepper, garlic, onion, brown sugar, and one other Virginia native spice that I can't devulge because of an old family friend.

Now, that doesn't mean that more ingredients aren't good or aren't "real" BBQ, it's just my preference is for simple flavors that compliment each other. If you have to get a culinary degree to cook it, it probably isn't good BBQ. Even Tuffy Stone had to ratchet down the "fabulous" factor to win.

Hollywood, Milan, Napa Valley, and Beverly Hills aren't known for their BBQ for good reasons. They are too prissy about it.

Thanks.... need some windex for the monitor now.

Make sure you use two layers of heavy duty foil and crimp the foil closed really well. I made 5 racks of baby backs yesterday on my UDS, works really darn well.

Wrong....

Sorry to disagree with you but I have used butter only once and I ended up with carbon coated ribs and I cook at 225 degrees. I was as shocked as anyone. I thought butter would make everything better. Just to clarify, I use the 3-2-1 method too.

How long were they wrapped and under heat this way? Meat side down?

[mgwerks]

I'm so with the funkmaster on this. Simpler is often better. Ribs for others get sauced or however they want them. Ribs for me and mine? Trimmed, wiped dry, bathed in Worcestershire and an application of Bolner's Fajita Seasoning, or sometimes just S&P.

How well did you seal the foil?
Did you only use one sheet?
I've heard from someone who's used this method a number of times that if there's a leak it'll burn. Keep it sealed and the steam inside will help. If it escapes, the sugar dries and burns. That's right, the sugar, that wasn't the butter that burnt on you.

I'm only reporting my experience, maybe it was a fluke, maybe my drum runs on cold fusion.

I used 1/6 a cup of butter (2-1/2 Tblsp), 1/6 cup of light brown sugar, 1/6 cup of honey and 1/6 cup of apple cider on each rack of five racks on Sunday. They were cruising at 250-275. Used a 3-2-0 method, and aside from desperately needing to reduce the cooking times next time out (pulled pork ribs anyone?), nothing was burnt. In fact, the ribs could have used a little crisping.

It's not just for the flavor that the margarine is being used. I'm not sure buter would have the same affect on overcooked ribs. Parkay does seem keep them from falling off the bone too easily.

That is quoteworthy right there!

[tony76248]

3-2-1

3 hours smoke
2 hours foil
1 hour back on the smoke and sauce

and I already mentioned that I cook 225 degrees.

I feel that I am pretty successful in comps when it comes to ribs. Last year I did eight comps and I got two firsts and two seconds. Consider this, I have cooked hundreds of racks of ribs utilizing this method and only once have I ever had the problem. Like I said, I was shocked.

I'll skip all the details and stick with what wins, I just don't want to see folks thinking that butter and parkay are gonna cook the same. that said if butter works for you stick with it but again, why re-invent the wheel plus the parkay is already in liquid form.
