Blues Hog sauce on competition meat

[cpw]

The first time we got any sort of call with pork was using a doctored up version of Blues Hog, so we're still using it.

I just make a lot of sauce for each category, almost 1/2 of a deep half pan for each. I dont use brushes so I need a lot of sauce if you catch my drift! We actually do ok in comps had a gc this year a few rgc's and a few first places in categories. I was just messing. But I do truly use a gallon per comp.

Maybe up there in Yankeeland.

Down here in Dixie you're dead wrong Scottie.

Ive done alright in comps down in the south. I wasnt really meaning that you cant win without it. But the success that Blues Hog has had on the comp bbq circuit is second to none.

I agree with you there Scottie. As I said earlier, lots of teams use BH and win. Then again, lots use it and lose, too. It does beg the question, does the product win frequently because of its attributes, or does it win because it is used so often?

Either way, Bill's sauce has become a staple of KCBS contests.

Good Point. If 80% of the teams use it, then statistically, 80% of the people who win, use it. Does it mean it's the BEST sauce? Not necessarily, just means it's the most used. I think the sauce is great, I can sit there an eat a jar of it. But I choose to be different and prove you don't need it to win.

If 80% of the teams use it, then I think it is the best sauce for competition RIGHT NOW. That can change of course, but with so many teams using it. Its hard to say that it is not the best sauce to use as a base right now.

That doesn't mean that you HAVE to use it to win, but its not going to hurt your chances.

Its also like a smoker. If 80% of the teams used the exact same smoker, then that would be the best smoker for comps, but that doesn't mean you would have to use it to win.

Just depends on your style of cooking as usual.

Why Blues Hog? Becuase it works.

 

[Q-Dat]

Hmmmmm...are top teams winning because they are using Blues hog? Or is Blues Hog winning because it is being used by top teams? Kinda like the cook or the cooker question.

The whole thing seems to be one of those chicken or the egg debates.

This could probably be an endless debate. It is good sauce, but I'll bet that the winning teams are cutting it with something and not using it straight. I use a doctored version and it has served it's purpose well.

I bet that the vast majority of teams are doctoring the sauce in one way or another.
