I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.
All excellent sauce, I used to buy Joes KC sauce in the half-gallon jug at Sam's till they stopped stocking.
I also like LC's Blues Hogs and Plowboys which can be found locally here at Walmart Hyvee or Price Chopper.
My all-time favorite though is Rosedale BBQ you can get filled in bottles at the joint. But it has a shelf life as it is not full of preservatives like those others for retail. [Reply]
It's pretty easy to just throw together a sauce at home but we buy SBRs and then I've using some Ott's Ozark Style here lately. My mom used to use Ott's years ago but that was before there were a gazillion options. Ott's has caught back up to the pack though and is pretty good. [Reply]

It's tough for me to get shit out here in the boonies. KCBBQ Shop periodically runs a special with free shipping that I load up on shit on. I just try a bunch of shit and see if it's good. Usually is. Credit to KCU for the KCBBQ shop rec.
Feel like the economy has wrecked that free shipping offer from KCBBQ Store as I haven't seen one in a long minute
Funny enough, later this month I'm flying one way to SW Missouri, renting a van and picking up some of my late FiLs tools and driving back to PHX. I'm going the extended way back to a) scoop up my dad and driving his ass out here for a week then flying him home, b) prioritizing a stop at the KCBBQ Store and loading up and c) stop in Ulysses to have lunch with my 95 year old aunt (probably for the last time)
So pretty much road tripping through the ass end of the Midwest through the Southwest with a van full of tools and BBQ sauce
Feel like I should detour around Texas for a few different reasons [Reply]

Yeah my mom kept Maul's or Ott's growing up but when she made her brisket it was her homemade sauce.
It tasted like Rich Davis KC Masterpiece original before Clorox bought it. It was good back then not the crap that is out now. I never thought to have mom write it down before dementia. When she passed we looked through her recipe index cards and couldn't find along with other great recipes just lost. She made a cheesecake in an electric skillet that was out of this world. Can't find and the ones that are on the web all suck.
Those who still have your mother get those favorites on paper or you will regret it. [Reply]

Been teaching and traveling on too many weekends, but today I had nothing, so it's chicken thighs as my plate for the neighborhood cookout. They're brined, trimmed, seasoned, and resting. [Reply]
