    a great sauce for ribs

    Looking for a special sauce to sauce ribs that is not typical BBQ sweet. More of a southern style flavorful coating on a pork rib. Appreciate any help out there.

    Look up Roadhouse bbq sauce. They have 4 or 5 flavors. Sweet, hot original, I think a southwest and so on. Personally, I mix their hot and spicy with the sweet and tangy 50/50 and put that on my bbq meats

    Sweet Baby Rays is my go-to ... but I like to tweak it a bit with a bit of ketchup, vinegar, S&P, etc...

    Zeb's sauce is my go to sauce for ribs. They have two one is more vinegar and pepper and another that has some ketchup. South Carolina sauces depend on where you live. There is vinegar and pepper in the Pee Dee, mustard in the midlands, and different ketchup sauces in the upstate and lowcountry. I prefer the vinegar and pepper because that is what I was raised on.

    Sweet Baby Ray's is my go to for ribs when I'm too lazy to make my own sauce.

    I like Stubb's too, but use it more for chicken than pork.

    If you rub the ribs down with plain old yellow hot dog mustard and then coat them liberally with a good rub before cooking, you may find you don't need sauce except to have on the side for dipping.

    well been a long time since i posted this. Since then my BBQ place has produced at least 175,000 lbs of bbq . We did it right. We did it wrong. We did it every way possible. i learned people in California don't understand southern BBQ at all . vinegar based sauces move slow here. yes we done most of it with sweet baby rays sauces . We also carry on our table 4 other sauces from them. My concern was getting the price down as s.b.r. is the highest sauce at the restaurant warehouse. One sauce i tried was from the mid west . there is a company that makes a very cool pressure smoker ( Smokorama). he makes a dry base BBQ sauce that you mix it with a catsup can and it is really pretty good. once again not finically great, and comes out to be about the same price as other already made sauces . being we are doing a considerable amount of meats now . I'am really looking for a receipt I can play with that would be just a little different but tasty sweet. We are at lots of pic on Facebook and yelp. So would like to reach out and find out if any of you have a sauce I could play with. https://www.facebook.com/itchyfootbbq/ http://www.itchyfootbbq.com/the-lege...tchy-foot.html

    BBQ is kind of funny when it comes to stuff like asking for a receipt . I caught about 3 hours of BBQ pitmasters on TV last night and it's fresh on my mind. There just is not a lot of variation in what these guys do. i mean yes you have to know your pig but man one guy was given a beef rib plate to make and had no idea on cooking beef ribs. Like the guy owned a BBQ place and never cooked ribs for a special or something different for his customers . All of them use the same old spices like they never change. For competition BBQ it's all about the process , and not so much whats different about your flavor other then choice of wood. Don't know what you don't know so getting ready to hit Georgo South and north Carolina for BBQ tasting for a get away and suggestions .

    How are you cooking the ribs? Are you smoking or baking?

    My BBQ sauce is:

    Cook down some amount of peppered bacon in a sauce pan.
    Remove bacon and leave 2tbls of fat.
    Sautee an onion in the fat
    Add 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar
    Add fresh thyme(leaves and stems. It will get strained later)
    Add 1/3 cup of mollasses.
    Add 3 tbls to 1/4 cup red white vinegar(I use more because like a sweet/sour thing)
    Cook down Slightly on medium heat

    Add 2:1 ketchup:yellow mustard.
    Add 1/4 cup of whole grain spicy mustard
    Add 2tsb mustard powder
    Add 1tsb ea garlic salt, black pepper.
    Add 2tbls liquid smoke.

    Cook on lowish for 1/2 hour. Strain and reseason to taste.
