No matter how much older I get (currently 34) I still learn a lot from older and more experienced BBQ'ers. Many of us have our rubs, sauces, injections etc. that we use to make our Q. We spend long hours and time coming up with these recipes and techniques.
But sometimes the most powerful "recipe" is simplicity. I had some ribs the other day cooked by an older gentleman that was simply some of the best I've ever put in my mouth. I asked what kind of rub or seasoning did he use because it was outstanding. He said "You want the recipe?" I was like "You're going to actually give me the recipe?" He said "yeah". He got a piece of paper and scribbled for about five seconds, folded the paper and handed it to me. I opened it up and it had three ingredients.
1. Salt
2. Pepper
3. 'Lots of Love
And he said honestly that's all that is in the rub. He said "Son, salt, pepper and a good fire is all I need. Keep it simple, perfect your ability to make and maintain a good, clean fire and you'll always put out some great Q."
Always learning something new. I love Q'n!!! :eusa_clap
