Hi
Lynn, John Stanley here. I
don't have a story but I do have a good bbq sauce, here it is;
5
dried Ancho chili peppers
3
cups water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 bunch cilantro
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2
Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup black berry preserves
Clean
and seed the peppers, make sure all seed are out.
Steep
the peppers in 3 cups of hot water until tender, about 30 minutes.
In
a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
Refrigerate
and use as needed.
Important
note;
This
is a sauce that has to be cooked. In its raw state, it does not taste
like a BBQ sauce at all. It should be brushed on in the beginning stages
of grilling. The sauce needs to caramelized to get its full affect and
this can only be done while grilling. About half way thru grilling stop
putting sauce on the meat. This sauce is intended to lock in the natural
juices. If you were to use this sauce after grilling it would not taste
very good at all. It must be cooked or used as a marinade.
It
is great on all Beef, Chicken and Seafood meats.

No legs, no problem, just a little Texasn ingenuity by The Doyle Family
Here is a funny
picture ... we call it our "Redneck BBQ" (we can do that since we
live in Dayton!) We went out to grill one day and when we moved the
grill, the legs fell off! Well, we didn't want change our plans, since
Roger makes the best BBQ'd chicken and camp potatoes, so we used what we had
... We did buy Roger a new grill for Father's Day, but we kept our
redneck version so we can cook more chicken and potatoes!
We thought we would just have the picture for a funny memory ... now I hope we
can make a few other people laugh!

Grilling
story: Years and years ago friends came over. We spent our last
penny to buy our
honoree steaks. Well, the boys had a few beers, a steak was turned over
but instead of
landing on the grill, it landed on the ground. Oh well, pick it up
and put it back on the grill.
The girls will never know the difference. (It did get grilled a
little tooooo much!)
