Had a little discussion this weekend about contests. I was asked' "What rubs and sauces I used at a competition?' Then I was asked, "Do alot of team make their own or use store bought?" I thought I should post it to the Bretheran. So a question to the Bretheran competitiors, What rubs or sauced do you use. If you wish to list what you use Im sure some might appreicate it.
Personally I make all my rubs and sauced for comps.
 
My rubs are my own and I used a doctored up commercial sauce for ribs. There are some other little diddys I use but I choose not to reveal them.
 
We do them all ourselves. We think we could possibly do better with 'proven' rubs/sauces, but we agreed we wanted to do it this way, at least for now. Our ribbons are just that much sweeter. :)

Thats my thought too Curt.
 
We use both our own and commercial. Sauces get doctored a bit. We use more commercial stuff than not.
 
we go both ways....heheh. I find that funny, but the rest of the meats may not. Personally, I prefer our homemade rubs and sauces to the commercial ones, but it is not my call to make.

That depends, who is the Hoe that is making them?
 
I use both homemade and store bought. The rubs thatI use are store bought. The sauce is my version of Mike Mills Apple City sauce from his book.

Yea I really need to reread my stuff because I also put make then instaed of them.:confused:
 
I use recipe's from Mike Mills book and change them up some. I also use some store bought sauces and change them too. Sometimes I play with all my own stuff, but that gets scary.
 
wow I am kind of shocked that so few make all of their own stuff. I think that is as much a part of the fun as anything else. I cant even remember the last bottle of BBQ sauce I have bought.
Havent seen too many rubs for sale locally so just always made my own.
If i use anything not made in house, I might try a commmercial marinade or hot sauce but thats about it.
 
I use all of my own stuff!! Rubs Sauce ect. I fit in all of the poll catagories and ----Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! We win sometimes. Don't tell!!

I exclusively use commerial rub & sauces. I'll occasionally tweak as needed with basic stuff like sugar, salt, pepper or mix with juice for a sauce if I really feel it's missing something.

I still enjoy occassionally creating a rub or sauce at home, but there are lots of high quality products for sale out there that can get the job done too.... I also don't mind supporting some of these small scale guys out there...
