Default Re: Love's Wood Pit BBQ

I would reccomend, that you start experimenting yourself ..

A good bbq-sauce must have sweet, sour, hot and spicy flavours.
I make my bbq-sauce from oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, ketchup, hp-sauce, salt, chili powder, onion powder and dried herbs.
You could probably add garlic as well - I can't, I'm allergic

I don't really have set amounts of each ingredient, because basically it's all about what you like!
You might like more chili than me, or less lemon juice.

A few rules of thumb: steak shouldn't have too much acidity or salt, but can take more pepper/spice. Pork and chicken can be bbq'ed with a very tangy-hot-sweet, but always balanced sauce. Slices of turkeybreastfilet can even take a bbq-sauce, that's heavy on one of the flavours - very sour or very sweet, f.ex. - because they don't really much taste of their own.

The harder heat you cook over, the less oil you should have in your bbq-sauce - it'll drip onto the coals, and catch on fire, if the heat is high.
