[John Wentzien]

I'll start..
Low-and -slow!

 

[bassteban]

Equal parts beer(or hootch of choice)& sauce.

 

[Hollow Man]

Apply the sauce late in the process; otherwise you just cook it right off.

That makes sense.

 

[Schlyder]

Start with Canadian Beef.

 

[Phalex]

Use a mop sauce for the actual cooking. I like equal parts black coffee and cider vinegar. Baste with the mop sauce while smoking to keep stuff moist and tender. BBQ sauce goes on the last 10 minutes on the grill or so.

You can't overcook chicken wings.

BBQ = what wood used for making the charcoal DOES make a difference! Mesquite... mmmm

 

[Eric Perry]

It's all about the dry rub. Thick, wet sauces have sugars, which caramelize and burn while grilling. Save any sauces for near the end of grillin'

Dry rub, then hickory smoke with repeated hot mop sauce action.

And if you're stuck with a gas grille, buy one of those wood chip smoker boxes to set in the grille.

 

[JeffBerlin]

What temperatures? How long in the smoker for what types of meat??

 

[baba]

Jeff, it depends on the cut of meat and whether you are using smoke or indirect heat or both.

Pick up the BBQ Bible by this guy: http://www.barbecuebible.com/

It's excellent.

Get an electric smoker (very easy to control heat/smoke), some hickory chips, and go straight for the pork butt recipe. Pulled pork sandwiches Carolina style.
