I like Iceman's sauce, but sometimes it's a little spicy for me,

I also make a mild sauce Tiny just for the times when you don't need the heat. ;D

Cool. When I order again, I shall have to take that option...just to give it a shot. :D

When all this is done, Bubba Pucks, a Maverick, & Iceman's sauce are the order of the day.

Now it's time to put my Lab outfit on (shorts & a t shirt), grab my own special sauce (a cold Beer) and get down to some serious smoking.

Updates to follow.

I always apply the vaunted vinegar (made with Nakano vinegar), and have other sauces available for others to apply. Two favorite sauces (besides the extra vaunted vinegar) are Iceman's Sop 'n' Sauce, and Tabasco's Spicy Bar-B-Que sauce South Louisiana Style.

Hey Ice, does that sauce have the same taste without the bite? If so, my next order may include a single jar of it. I have only had one complaint about your sauce by one person and she said it was great but too hot. I do not see it myself but I probably should get one jar for such folks.

Yup, Iceman that sauce isn't hot enough. ;D
How great is having an ever expanding product line. :o

Thought I'd check in. It's 10:55pm Eastern and the 3 butts have been in for an hour.

Heated the unit to 250 and it immediately dropped to 150. It's back to 175 now.

Each Butt has a separate Rack (they're two big to put side by each).

I've got 14 bisquettes (because no Bubbas). I'm doing 2 hickory, 2 maple, 2 hickory, 2 maple, etc.

Sounds like you are well on your way. If you can, don't forget to post some pictures.

Carter · August 13, 2007, 06:23:55 AM

Well folks, the party was a total success.

Thanks for all your advice and thoughts. It really helped.

I'm sold on the Renowned Mr. Brown. Hard to believe I was concerned.

I'll post more details over the next day or so and a picture or two.

Seriously though, I can't thank everybody enough.

Great Forum.

I'll send down a jar next go around. It pretty much has the identical taste as the original sauce.

When you say Reknowned Mr. Brown, are you speaking of the rub by that name in Smoke N Spice? I havent' used that rub, but I used the Vaunted Vinegar Sauce from that book last weekend. Nice tang/bite.

Then with the leftovers, I made sandwiches using Ice's sauce as a bread spread. The best of both worlds.

If I didn't know how much I've been eating, I'd be accusing the cleaners of shrinking my clothes (again).

Carter · August 17, 2007, 09:31:56 AM

Yes it is the samed Renowned Mr. Brown from smoke and spice. I must admit, I think I like it better than the Memphis style rubs (Memphis Rub in BBQ Bible & Wild Willy's in Smoke n Spice). I was surprised to discover that the one with less salt actually tasted better once cooked.

I made three sauces for the Butt's (all from Smoke n Spice) - Vaunted Vinegar, Carolina Red, & the Mustard Sauce right after the Carolina Red recipe.

I liked Carolina Red better than Vaunted Vinegar. We hardly touched the Mustard sauce (it's really powerful in flavour and the Pork didn't need it).

However, we had another couple over last night and I made Filet Mignon on the Gas Grill. Since the Mustard sauce has about a two week storage life I decided to put it out just to try it with Steak. We tried it on the side and pretty soon all three of four of us are pouring it all over our plates. Very good with Steak (a little spicey for those that don't like heat).

I know I'm a bad guy for not posting any food porn, but it's been a really busy week (I'm a Financial Planner so if you've been following the news you know that the US Sub-prime Loan issue is keeping us quite busy and I've been doing extra reviews with clients).

In any event, I'm going to try that Leg Of Lamb recipe that I've seen posted in a couple of places on Sunday. I've got a 3.5 lb boneless leg of lamb that I'm going to start marinating tonight. Hopefully on Sunday while it's cooking, I'll get some of my pics from last week up.

I've owed pictures for this for awhile. Here is my only experience with a threesome. :'(

And the finished product (the next day). I was so busy I forgot to take pictures while I was getting it ready for people.
