BBQ Sauce

Let's see at last count, there were 63,243... 244...245 sauces out there.

There have been a few posts on sauce, and more than a few posted in the recipe forum, but there isn't such a demand for sauce we see it that often.

So, from scratch you want sweet, savory, hot, spicy, (see where it goes)

You can also take a commercial sauce if you want to "tweak it"

Me, the best book I ever bought was Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ sauces and rubs. Teach a lot of basics and how to's.

The search function will get you started, but we can discuss it from there.

Here's one from a search for "brisket sauce" in just the recipe forum:

Tom's Coffee Brisket Sauce

Have you tried the Cookshack spicy sauce? Gets my vote- good stuff!

I have good luck using 2 cans of coke,2 cups ketchup,2 tbspns each of garlic powder,onion powder, chili powder,liquid smoke and Lea&Perrins steak sauce.Let come to slow boil and keep stirring till thickened.Enjoy!

A neat tweak, believe it or not, is Root Beer.

A quick thought would be that sauce making can be fun and quite creative.

I spent many years ,endless hours,and an unbelievable amount of money.

I then figured out that top comp teams did the same thing.

Some great cooks suggested that I pick something close, that they were successful with,tweak it to my meats,rubs,woods,and then I could devote that time to the 95% of time I wasn't using to learn my cooker.

Wow,then I actually became a pretty fair backyard cook and began to do well at the contest level.

I wonder if there was a message to me?

I have no interest in the product,but can attest that there are COUNTLESS contest wins with Cookshack Mild Sauce.

Just a thought.

That's great info guys. I think I will try the CS mild sauce so I can get to business in learning to use my CS Amerique. So far Ribs and sausage have turned out good, Prime rib was great but I'm not there with my brisket. After using a stick pit for over 30 years with great results I need to tweak my technique in the CS smoker.

Add the CS Brisket Rub to the CS Mild Sauce,and you just added countless more major wins.

Best way I can think off ,to use a made for brisket cooker.

Enjoy.
