What is the best barbecue

Poll question: What is the best barbecue

I love it all!

1. Pork with a dry rub - no sauce

Sauces are for covering up mistakes. I cook ribs for about 6 hours over a hickory smoke and they taste great!

2. Yes, dry rub is best

You can always add sauce after it's cooked

3. Maybe I've just never found the right dry rub.

I have always preferred slow cooking for 5-6 hours, then adding a little sauce and barely searing it on at the end of the cooking time.

12. I just use salt and pepper

But you can buy "Boston dry rub".

We slow cook pork shoulders, for at least 12 hours... to the point were you have to shovel them off the grill. I do them twice a year for a fundraiser, and we cook over a ton of pork. Takes about 16 hours with set up and clean up, but it is well worth it. We also sell homemade BBQ sauce... it doesn't need it though.

We use Apple, as our smoke for the last few hours...

14. Have you tried the BRITU method?

BRITU - "Best Ribs In The Universe"

http://www.rbjb.com/fpq/britu.htm

I use this recipe with slight variations. The biggest difference is that I don't use any sauce at the end (just my preference). When cooking, I'll put the ribs in my smoker (Weber Smokie Mountain) for 3 hours, then wrap them in aluminum foil with a little apple juice for about 1-2 hours, then I unwrap them and reseason, and continue to cook for another 30-60 minutes. Wrapping the ribs in foil gives you the falling off the bone texture that I like.

Here's a great site with a good forum:

11. At the risk of sounding like a snob ...

I haven't used a bottled sauce for 20 years.

17. KC MASTERPIECE IS OWNED BY CLOROX. I live in KC and when

people come into town and want to eat at the KC Masterpiece restaurant, I patiently explain that is similar to going to Maine and wanting to eat at Red Lobster. KC Masterpiece isn't anywhere on the radar of good bbq in KC.

Having said that, I do kind of like that sauce for grilling chicken because it sticks really well. Sounds like sweeter BBQ too...I think Masterpiece has some kind of molasses.

Anyway, for great bbq i must recommend www.jackstackbbq.com

You can order online and it's awesome! I ship to my dad and grandpa at least twice a year.

16. Kansas City here too! Best BBQ is a nice brisket, burnt ends, spare ribs,

sausage, hickory chicken, smoked turkey, ham.

Yea...Best Barbeque is all about the rubs, then the sauce.

18. Montreal Steak Spice

I use it on beef, chicken, lamb, salmon...

[Liberal In Texas]

19. I'm going with ALL OF THE ABOVE

...oh? There wasn't that category?

Sorry. All BBQ is good.

[Poiuyt]

20. Has anyone else here tried beer can chicken?

I think it's the best chicken I've ever tasted, though I have trouble with the skin tasting kind of tough and rubbery

[Elidor]

21. BEEF?! WTF!! CHICKEN?!! You must be kidding me!

Pulled Pork. Nothing else is BBQ.

[mitchum]

22. vinegar-based, pulled pork is the only barbeque...

any thing else is just a cow slathered with catsup.

[Sgent]

23. BBQ Shrimp, Cajun Style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice butter sauce with some spices!

It resembles NOTHING of regular BBQ (oven cooked, no BBQ sauce, etc.), but it is still the best.

As for ribs, I prefer a good peprika rub on smoked pork baby back rips.
