Bravo! Short sweet and to the point. 5 different sauces explained in less than 7 minutes. Bravo!

Maybe i'm weird but I almost always use the drippings of whatever meat I cooked as a base for the sauce. People always seem to love it.

Great video, professionally presented. As a Brit, it was great fun to read the comments and the outrage at his interpretation of the various regional recipes; a bit like us when arguing over how to make tea.

there is only one phrase that can sum up this poor boys attempt at making bbq sauce. " bless his heart."

[davemarshall]

Thanks for the video - fast and to the point - perfect!

Thank you, for all these recipes.
You are totally right with the mustarde bbq sauce. I'm german and we still make this mustarde sauce.

I feel these recipes are open to interpretation and cooking is not rigid. I LOVED this video, it was to the point and did not have a bunch of BS! Just content. It was great just to hear the recipies and not a lot of mindless chatter. As far as the propane debate, when I place my wood in my smokebox I have convinced a few "Coalheads". There is many ways to get a job done and the choice is something you have. Realize that and there are many ways to grill your meat.

I've never thrown a punch in anger but seeing someone put ketchup in Eastern Carolina bbq sauce might change that.

Thanks for posting. I tried the vinegar based one today to go with pulled pork and really enjoyed it.

BBQ sauce is used to mask the taste of mediocre BBQ.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You’re my go to when I’m BBQing!

I've never met a mother who made BBQ. It's always been a pawpaw thang in Georgia. I'll sell you the best sauce you'll ever finger for 30.00 a jar. Takes 4 hours just to make a small batch.

The eastern Carolina sauce was closer to Piedmont/Lexington style sauce, which does have some ketchup and sugar in it.

Very entertaining. Thanks! When I moved to GA (from the Carolinas), I had no idea that BBQ sauce was red and sweet or hot! My husband and I had so many different sauces in our fridge. I still can’t attempt the white. I’ve never seen it in a restaurant. Scott’s, in Cartersville, GA, is so great! They have 5 different sauces and the best Brunswick stew I’ve ever had!

I added some smoked paprika to the Alabama White. It made it amazing.
