What kind of BBQ do you like?

<p style="margin: 0px;">Just curious what everyone's tastes are for barbecued meats.&nbsp; Do you prefer beef, chicken, or pork... (or?)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">What kind of sauce do you like?&nbsp; (Darker, sweeter sauce, more southern style with cider vinegar, or a mustard sauce?&nbsp; Do you have a favorite sauce recipe that you make yourself?</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I'll start out...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">For barbecuing (using smoke), it's all good but I really like lean shredded beef chuck roasts or brisket, pork ribs, and chicken breasts.&nbsp;&nbsp;Favorite woods are applewood for poultry and hickory or mesquite for beef/pork.&nbsp; I also use a&nbsp;meat&nbsp;rub called "Cookie's&nbsp;Flavor Enhancer and All Purpose Seasoning"&nbsp;(made in Iowa).&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cookiesbbq.com/" target=_blank>http://www.cookiesbbq.com/</a></p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">The&nbsp;molasses type barbecue sauce is a favorite on chicken but I learned that&nbsp;the KC Masterpiece Southern Style sauce on beef and pork is pretty yummy.&nbsp; (It's got less sugar and&nbsp;more vinegar&nbsp;- healthier&nbsp;for a diabetic)...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Anyone else hungry for bbq?&nbsp; I'll supply the beer.&nbsp; (Oh, all I have is Budweiser heavy, if that will do)</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p>

It's all good if done right.&nbsp; When I was a kid our country club BBQed a whole pig in a pit every year and it was absolutely to die for.&nbsp; I grill [slow grill] pork tenderloin and it turns out great.&nbsp; Probably my favorite, though, is salmon but I guess that's a NW thing. <br>

yup same here, from the NW also and all bbq is good to me... dont forget shellfish like oysters are great on the barby also...<br><br>But if I had to pick it would be Chicken smothered in sauce...<br><br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">I hear ya. Darrell.&nbsp; I gave it up for a while due to the sugar in the sauce.&nbsp; The nice thing is that if the meat is smoked and seasoned well it doesn't take a whole lot of sauce.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Steve, that's a good point about shellfish.&nbsp; I'm sure my&nbsp;tomcat,&nbsp;Jesse, would vote in favor of shrimp and scallops.&nbsp; I feed him a lot of seafood and he's one happy little guy.&nbsp; He and I love seafood on the barbecue or just about any other&nbsp;way you can fix them.&nbsp; You've made me want to stop and get some jumbo shrimp and scallops for the skewers.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"></p>

I like just about all bbq.&nbsp; I prefer it cooked with charcoal or natural woods (pecan, oak, mesquite, hickory, etc).&nbsp; And as far as sauce goes, I will usually mix the Budweiser BBQ Sauce with KC Masterpiece sauce and then doctor it up some with my own combinations of seasonings.
