Dang Hedge, I thought we were friends!?!?!?!?!?

Everybody knows WESTERN style BBQ reigns supreme. Lexington style to be exact.

BBQ pork ribs - spare ribs, St. Louis cut, baby back, all have a special place in my heart. My absolute favorite thing to put on the smoker. By the way, we are on the cusp of smoker season.

Are you guys going crazy ? !!!! That degree ( get it ) of " food porn " will get this whole web site taken down !!!!

And besides, this thread is supposed to be a good ol' argument between me and Destroyer about classified's comments.

As for barbeque........I go traditional style. I like the meat tender and juicy, and the sauce smoky and authentic - not sugary sweet, no special flavors such as lemon this or orange that......... just good meat, chicken included and......my personal preference when I'm in the mood for beer: Yards Brewery - Brawler. Always smooth, great flavor, never bitter.

I think you misunderstand ... no thread is ever supposed to be an argument. Besides, I really don't give damn what you think, since it's just your opinion. I'm sure that you feel the same way about what I think, since, again, it's just my opinion....

But good BBQ, on the other hand, is a national heritage, and needs to be defended when necessary. And much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree with you on the traditional style being best. I hate the sugar coatings that a lot of places put on the meat. Beer is always a matter of individual preferance. I tend to go with Sam Adams Boston Lager or Killians Red, but that's just me and I don't expect anyone to agree or disagree with me on that.

You guys are crazy and both of you are wrong. LOL

j/k - Eastern BBQ is very simple. Smoke Boston Butts for hours on end (12 + hrs at 200 - 225) until pulled pork is achieved. Pulled, chopped or sliced. Add in some Lexington style sauce (or serve on the side) and enjoy.

I actually love sauces and eat them in excess. Hot sauce, ketchup, honey mustard, soy, etc. etc. Love sauce.

Lexington sauce is a combination of apple cider vinegar, ketchup, water, salt/pepper, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, and sugar (I like molasses or maple syrup instead). Being a big fan of Texas Pete hot sauce I usually add in a liberal portion or it to my BBQ sauce as a kicker.

Destroyer.........here are a few suggestions.......assuming you're not too brittle:
1. Calm down, we're joking around here. My reference to all the food talk getting in the way of a good argument should have been obvious - humor, not anger.
2. Let's not stray towards foul language.
3. Yup, I still think people shouldn't make negative public comments in ref to another guys item for sale.
4. Relax. Don't take this stuff too seriously. I'll be " pissed " if I list my boat and you
tell everyone that my price is " too much" but other than that, who cares really.
5. There is no # 5.
6. There's no # 6 either.

THANKS, Now I'm hungry. None of that mustard based crap please. Good quality dry rub is all I need. and lots of

[Blue_Runner]

Mustard goes against Western BBQ philosophy, HOWEVER, being a sauce guy I like it (done my way of course) on country style ribs, but not on BBQ or pork ribs. One of my pix above shows a bowl of mustard based dip. I can assure you it was only used on the country style ribs.

Mustard is for hotdogs, that's it. And I don't care for dry rubs either. I use a mixture of some sweet BBQ sauce(a tomato based one, NO vinegar sauce for me), lemon juice, and lOTS and lOTS of smoke in the smoker for mine. When I dod ribs, I marinate them overnight in my sauce and lemon juice mixture(with some secret herbs and spices), then they get smoked in my cabinet smoker. And I don't like my ribs to have a smoke ring in them, but to be completely smoked through the meat. About 2/3rds of teh way through I will immerse them in the marinade again and leave em in it for about 30 mintes in the top of the smoker in the marinade. Take em out of the marinade and then finish em off for about 30 minutes over 250 degree moist heat to make the sauce into a glaze on em. I have yet to find somebody who doiesn't like em. I've even had a vegetarian before that ate them and loved em.

Heres some I did awhile back.
