Hey, /ck/, I'm from Texas and I love Texas BBQ but all of the sauces are too sweet and not spicy enough.

Anyone got a good recipe for homemade barbeque sauce?

We're not talking steaks, we're talking things like brisket, which needs a good sauce to baste it with while you're smoking it, even if it is very fatty, smoking things will make them dry if you don't use a sauce (for best results, cook the last 3 hours or so wrapped in foil).

Store-bought sauces are all full of corn syrup and shit.

There you go OP, you have just tailored a Texas BBQ sauce to your liking. Of course you could just join the Memphis dry rub master race.

Do texans really think this?

BBQ is slow smoked over wood, no sauce is needed

Just mix brown sugar and ketchup, and add whatever spices you have lying around until you like it, brah. It's not hard.

You can also try with straight molasses instead of brown sugar.

Nope, I'm from Houston. I think a lot of Texas things are too sweet, though, so I guess I'm a blasphemer. Like Texas-style iced tea with a gallon of sugar added, yuck.

I seriously hope you aren't talking about what they do at the Rendezvous, because only tourists and English royalty go there. I'll take my ribs slow cooked like they're meant to be, not covered in msg, and in a location where I am not likely to be attacked by redguards.

The best barbecue places may have barbecue sauce on hand, but is primarily for the sausage and chicken, not the brisket.

At lesser barbecue places you might need sauce for the brisket.

Lesser Texans, maybe.

Exactly.

i may but thick bbq on chicken and maybe a little vinegar or mustard based on pulled pork but ribs and brisket need no sauce

There are a number of ways of doing barbecue. The best methods don't need basting, but some others do.

[Anonymous No.5670871]

>>5670861

Right.

I have seen some really dry brisket that really needed the sauce. But good brisket doesn't.

[Anonymous No.5672526]

>>5670871
The funny thing is that dry brisket is undercooked brisket.

Sauce might enhance brisket but the only reason it would ever be necessary is user failure.

But that's exactly what it is. Grilling and barbecue should not be used interchangeably.

barbecue is just smoky grilling

No, not really. They use two very different heats and rely on different chemical processes.

how is barbecuing not just extra smoky grilling?

[Anonymous No.5674262]

>>5674253
what is high heat vs low or indirect heat?

What is adding a small amount of smoke flavor vs using the smoke to cook the food

what is 3-10min vs hours and hours or cooking
