I built a smoker a couple of years ago and as time has gone on I have had more and more people inquire about me cooking for events and parties. I cook a lot of shit. Memorial day was 4 pork butts, 4 racks of ribs, 30 lbs of chicken wings and a large Salmon. After a lot of practice I feel pretty good about what I am cranking out. I have made my own BBQ sauce on occasion, but to me it is kind of a pain in the ass. So, I was curious what suggestions may be out there...
3 catagories: cheap shit, decent shit, special occasion
Cheap shit: Stuff you can find occasionally for $1 on sale, for a hot dog or your kids chicken strips.
my picks: KC Masterpiece original, Sweet Baby Rays
Decent shit: Restaurant Sauce sold in some stores or smaller brand maker.
my picks: Gates, Pappy's, Blues Hog Smoky Mountain (my current favorite)
Special occasion: Don't care about cost, just want to keep it real. Smaller batch, can find in BBQ specialty retailers. Lots to choose from and they all look the same, at $10 plus cannot try them all.
my picks: have not purchased but Sugarfire Coffee, St. Louie Sweet. need suggestions.
So, What do you guys reach for?
P.S. Throw any chicken wing sauce out there too....
