Now, I done bought two pork shoulders (weighing 'bout 17 lbs.) from Costco the other day and rubbed it down with a spicy rub and then went looking for a mustard-based BBQ sauce to use on them.
I found this sauce made by BigDaddy;
Big Daddy says, "This is Carolina style barbecue sauce." This means that it is vinegar and mustard based, as opposed to the ketchup and molasses based sauces of the mid and southwest. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors brings out the absolute best in grilled pork or chicken.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (hickory flavoring)
PREPARATION:
Mix all except soy, butter and smoke. Simmer 30 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 more minutes.
NOW, since I didn't have all the ingredients for Big Daddy's recipe, I decided to substitute a couple of the ingredients and create my own. My recipe came out this way;
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
6 tablespoons butter
PREPARATION:
Mix all except butter. Simmer over live fire in smoker with 5 or 6 chunks of Hickory wood for approx. 30 - 45 minutes. Stir in butter and simmer until it thickens like a paste, say...for 20 to 30 more minutes.
This sauce is definitely sweet and tangy, but is also a very spicy BBQ sauce, but whooboy ain't it good!!! I cain't wait to taste the smoked pork shoulders with this sauce on 'em!!!
Well, the pork butts turned out just as awesome as I hoped they would. And, even though the the family doesn't enjoy spicy foods as much as I do, the pulled pork disappeared ASAP!!! I think that meant they liked it. :-)
Ingredients:
One Head of Broccoli (3 stalks), chopped
Half of a Vidalia Onion (Or Sweet Onion of Yer Choice), chopped
1/2 to 1 lb. of Mozzarella Cheese (Or Cheese of Yer choice)
Pinch of Salt
Coupla Dashes of Black Pepper (I like lots of Black Pepper in my recipes! <g>)
Coupla Dashes of both Sweet Paprika and Cayenne Pepper
Coupla Splashes of Milk to thin the Cheese a bit
Coupla Dashes of Garlic Powder (Didn't have no Fresh Garlic, me.)
Coupla Dashes of Hot Sauce (Or Hot Sauce of Yer Choice)
Butter (The More the Merrier!)
Preparation:
Add the Butter, Broccoli, Onion, and Seasonings to a pot and cook over Low Heat until the Broccoli and Onion just start to get tender 'round the edges...it's better being a bit al den'te, AFAIC.
Once the Veggies are cooked to yer liking, add yer cheese and melt. Again, over low heat.
Add Milk as needed to thin the mixture just a bit, but not too soupy, unless you want soup that is. :-)
Serve as soon as you can 'cause it's sooo good while it's still hot!!
I'd bet that by adding one can of Campbell's Soup...Broccoli or Onion would be good choices (Mushroom would be even better, but DW doesn't like Mushrooms. *sigh*), this would really kick it up a notch or three!!
Enjoy!

I've still got a li'l "Smoke Cooking Recipe Book" from Brinkman when I bought my El Cheapo Smoker way back when and "found" it the other day while organizin' stuff in the house...still.
On page two it has a Sportsman's Recipe that I decide to give a whirl, with a coupla modifications.
Original Sportsman's Recipe
1 16 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup Worcerstershire Sauce
Juice from two limes
1 12 oz bottle hot or regular catsup
1/2 cup butter or margerine
Louisiana hot sauce to taste (Tabasco)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bottle beer
2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet Sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
Mix together all ingredients and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Use as a dipping sauce or brush onto meat prior to or during cooking.
I did not have all the ingredients lsited and wanted the sauce to be a little different anyways, so I modified it like this...
blford's Sportsman's Spicy & Tangy BBQ Sauce
1 12 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup Worcerstershire Sauce
4 tablespoons lime juice
12 oz ketchup
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup dehydrated onion
1 teaspoon smoked garlic, chopped
1 bottle Samuel Adams Boston Lager
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup cider vinegar
I mixed everything together except for the last three ingredients; brown sugar, molasses and cider vinegar. I cooked this over in-direct heat on my El Cheapo Grill, with charcoal and a few chunks of Hickory wood, for about an hour and then tasted it. It tasted OK, but it wasn't what I wanted and it was too watery. I then decided to add the brown sugar, molasses and cider vinegar and cooked it for another 1 1/2 hours to reduce it down so it was sweeter and thicker like a BBQ sauce. That worked.
Tangy, li'l sweet, li'l bite, tomato/beer flavored BBQ sauce.
It tasted like it needed some beef, so I took a small (1 lb) package of stew meat out of the freezer and put it in the fridge to thaw overnight. I separated the sauce into two Tupperware containers, each holding about 2 cups of sauce, put some plastic wrap over the top of the sauce in one of the containers to force the air out and tossed that one into the freezer. The second container I put in the fridge for use with the beef.
As thick as I made this sauce, it would have performed better as a BBQ sauce, but I wanted to cook the stew meat in the sauce and had to thin it out a bit the next day with another half bottle of beer. I made a quick flour, salt, and black pepper dredge for the stew meat and cooked it over medium-high heat in some oil until they were browned. I then added the half bottle of beer and only half of the saved sauce into the pot and turned the heat down to a medium-low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour.
I cooked some yellow rice and canned green beans for sides and woofed down my dinner before The Wife did hers. I didn't give her a lot of sauce because she doesn't like gravies and this recipe came out more like a gravy than a sauce. But she still liked it and it worked well as a gravy.
Dump the meat and gravy over rice, smashed taters, pasta, biscuits, whatever y'all feels like. It'll work.
Or, with the two thick cups of sauce I had, I could have thinned it down with a whole bottle of beer and cooked several pounds of beef with it. Mebbe even with some veggies added to it in a crock-pot even?? Yum!!

Converting a Baptist to Catholicism
John Smith was the only Baptist to move into a large Catholic Neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big Juicy steak on his grill.
Meanwhile, all of his neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper.
This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday of Lent, the neighborhood men got together and decided that something had to be done about John, he was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent, and they couldn't take it anymore.
They decided to try to convert John to be a Catholic.
They went over and talked to him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbors and become a Catholic. They took him to church, and the Priest sprinkled some holy water over him and said, "You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, and now you are a Catholic."
The men were so relieved, now their biggest Lenten temptation was resolved.
The next year's Lenten season rolled around.
The first Friday of Lent came, and just at supper time, when the neighborhood was sitting down to their tuna fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on a grill.
The neighborhood men could not believe their noses! WHAT WAS GOING ON!!??
They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see if he had forgotten that it was the first Friday of Lent.
The group arrived just in time see John standing over his grill sprinkling some water on his steak saying, "You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish."
A man and his wife were working in their garden one day.
The man looks over at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue."
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill, then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom. "Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!" The woman chose to ignore her husband.
Later that night in bed, the husband was feeling a little frisky. He made some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off. "What's wrong?" he asks. She answers: "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?
My tire was thumping.
