Ahh...here is where the communication barrier begins I believe. I have
found that most people east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason Dixon
(my southern background??) Call anything with a sauce a BBQ. Where in
Texas and Oklahoma and many other places it is a style of cooking ie...long
and slow say 200-225 over a nice wood such as Hickory or a classic Texas
wood Mesquite. A truelly well smoked or BBQ as some would call it meat
needs NO sauce. Although I do eat a little on the side (sauce that is).
You must have had a "tourist" BBQ, you have to get off the beaten path to
get the real thing. Just ask Rick Fisk in Michigan, he has had the real
thing and is now a believer.
