Ive spent so much time reading and practicing on meats that I almost forgot about sauces and rubs. Do most of you guys here that compete make your own sauces and rubs for comps especially since you cant bring any prepared sauces as far as I know.
Having watched the BBQ pit masters series one Myron Mixon was not keen on making his own rubs and so was another chap who got first place in ribs, I think he used a Johnny Trigg recipe.
So whats the lowdown here guys, are you all making your own rubs, BBQ sauce and hot sauces. I was thinking of getting this book on my iPad as the kindle price is a steal http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0761 ... er=&sr=8-2 just as a starting point to making my own. Is it easy enough to make a good quality sauce at home. I normally make my own rubs but they are usually internet or book recipes which I would like to start moving away from, or perhaps there is nothing wrong with a solid proven recipe thats not your own creation
Any advice or tips appreciated.
