Powerlifting taught me that ANY nut job can have a federation!
I also prefer beef BBQ with no sauce, so I am all messed up

Ok, itās getting eerie how much you and I are alike. And same with @kdjohn. So now Iām wondering if itās the martial arts connectionā¦

I also prefer dry rubbed ribs, beef or pork.
Maybe there are some amazing places that use sauce, but for me the flavor of the meat gets lost in it.
Not so heavy on the smoke either or it has the same effect.

I feel like thatās just liking the taste of barbecued meat and not the taste of molasses. Nothing ruins BBQ for me like too much sauce. Even pulled pork sandwiches I donāt want a bunch of sauce on. The less, the better.

No martial arts here, and I also prefer my BBQ sans sauce, or only very lightly so if thereās no choice.

Mustard based sauces strike me the same. Iām with @SkyzykS: I think true āpit masteryā is being able to work magic with the meat itself (are we not saying phrasing anymore?) while sauce can be used to cover up many sins.

Lol I never tasted ribs before
I think the best Iāve ever had was a couple of brisket my one brother made. Quick braising, simple seasoning- like paprika, salt, garlic, onion, then done on this awesome smoker/slow cooker he has for like 6 hrs.
It ended up with this like candied finish, but so tender and juicy through out.
That was pretty darn special.

Is this whole thread flame free or do you have to put āconfessionā or āI confessā before what you write to avoid the flame?

Itās a gastronomical vision quest.
When youāre ready, the ribs will present themselves before you.
If youāre not, they will destroy you.

Never had brisket either.
Sauce on the side is the move for BBQ. If itās good you never have to touch the sauce, but if it sucks youāve got a safety net right there waiting for you.
Edit: Iāll add, if the sauces are made in-house I will try a bite with them just to see the full experience.

And now, a confession: I have my first running race this weekend, which technically also qualifies as an ultra (although I donāt think Iāll actually be putting in ultra mileage), and Iām so happy to use it as an excuse to skip leg day.

My dad has never bought a grill because he said he wouldnāt have any self control. Whenever I went to a bbq restaurant I would always order a burger.
Someone get @tlgains some good barbecue ASAP. Heās missing out on prime taste and anabolism.

He might be right.
I have too many stents to argue against him.
At 2 or 3 I might have gotten lippy about it, but at 4 maybe looking at 5 Iām gonna shush.
