    Lost Jeffs sauce recipe

    I just sent a request myself. Daughter's birthday party tomorrow and I have lost every recipe I own due to moving.

    Looking for a substitute.

    Just an update. Do not use tomato sauce and paste in lieu of ketchup. That is, unless you like you BBQ to taste like spaghetti.

    Never thought of that. Might give it a try this weekend.

    Looking for a substitute.

    Nearly the same as Jeff's recipe, but with 1/4 cup of beer and 1/3 stick of butter. Just had a little ketchup aftertaste I didn't care for. I think it may be the vinegar aftertaste (I used Heinz) I didn't care for. After adding the beer/butter, it dulled it a little.

    Looking for a substitute.

    Does anyone have a good substitute for ketchup for sauce recipes? I was thinking tomato sauce and paste. My issue is, the sauce finishes with a "ketchupy" taste that I don't care for. I could use less of it, but would still need a filler to make up for it.   Any direction would be appreciated.

    Been a while since I've been on, but...

    It turned out great. Everyone liked it. Heck, even I liked it and I'm not a ham guy. This weekend, it' will be baby backs and chicken. I figure I'll fire up the...grill... too and grill some veggies.

    Been a while since I've been on, but...

      Here I am. I have a nice pork butt in the smoker for Easter. The mother in law brought one over and asked me to smoke it. Who am I to refuse the request of my mother in law, right? She has a really sensitive stomach, so no rubs, no nothing. Just smoke. I did rub a tiny bit of brown sugar and...

    Jeff's rub

    Threw down some ribs, t-bones, and chicken this weekend. Awesome stuff. I need to tone down the spice for the wife, though. I added a third stick of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of beer to the sauce. I like it, but too spicy for the wife. Guess she gets her own special batch. Money well...

    Jeff's rub

    I finally broke down and purchased the recipes. Looking forward to seeing how people like it. i have catered for many parties and weddings with my own sauce and people loved it. Problem is, I have grown to not like it. I'm looking forward to change.

    Oregon Smoke Out?

    That sounds awesome, buffalotom! I'm hoping to have my cheapo smoker lined and insulated by then. It's been a challenge to take a poor quality file cabinet with vents and make it into a good little smoker. Can't wait for a get together.

    Smoked some turkey cuts in my ECB yesterday.

    We put it in rice yesterday. It worked for my wife's i-pod. twice... someone doesn't check their pockets before washing clothes.   I hope it works. The turkey was purdy. I'll try and get a couple of pics of the smoker showing the screws in the top.

    Who else stacks?

    I made some stuffing and apple cobbler for Thanksgiving yesterday. I think My neighbor got a shot of them. My camera got left outside last night and it rained. No SD card and the camera won't turn on. Had a few shots of the smoker going as well. I'm bummed a little. Had my neighbor send a pic...
