guys -

for the past year i've been using a mop for my ribs that works very well and i am 100% satisfied with it. it's an easy one consisting of 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 cup Dr. Pepper and 2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce.

i'm doing my first pork shoulder today and am thinking of switching the dr. pepper with 7-up - i'm thinking tht the citrus flavor might give a boost and propel it toward something from florida or maybe the caribbean, but on the other side of the coin is the fact that the dr. pepper, when mixed with the soy sauce, adds a lot of depth to the flavors found in pork, it seems. any opinions, pro or con?

i went ahead with the dr. pepper as i know that turns out good, but i did add about a half-cup of wild cherry brandy, just for kicks. we'll see what happens!

Let us know. Sure sounds good.

LOL my mop too. Dang, does it ever smell good when you put the lid back on and the mop cooks.

Methinks you got about the best mop that you need- nice touch with the cherry brandy!
