1½ c Dark Brown Sugar
½ c Paprika
4 T course Black Pepper, grind to "salad pepper" size
1½ t Chili Powder
4 T Garlic granules
4 T Onion granules
3½ T Basil, fine ground
2¾ T Lemon Thyme, fine ground

Add the brown sugar and paprika to food processor bowl. Pulse to mix thoroughly removing any lumps that may develop. One at a time, add each of he other spices and pulse thoroughly before adding the next. Place in an airtight container and use as necessary.
To Use:
Use this rub on pork or beef ribs. Remove the membrane. Wash the ribs and pat dry. Use a heaping amount of the rub on one side of the rack. Press into the meat. Let it sit until the moisture of the ribs start to soak into the rub - the rub starts to look wet. Carefully turn the rack over and repeat the rub process. Gently wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using.
To Smoke the Ribs:
Pre-heat the smoker to 210°F. Place the ribs on a rack, bone side down. Smoke for about 4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remove from smoker and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve with Chef's Review, "Salsa de Barbacoa" Barbecue Sauce.

Recipe Name: Lynchburg Special BBQ Sauce
Yield: ~2 Quarts
Recipe Source: Bob and Robin Young
Ingredients:
3 lg Head of Garlic, oven roasted (see below)
6 T Olive oil
2 c Water
2 c Pineapple juice
1½ c Teriyaki sauce (I use Soy Vay "Veri Veri Teriyaki" Soy Vay Website)
1½ c Dark brown sugar, loose packed
12 oz Tomato paste
5 Bay leaves, fresh is best
3½ T Allspice, fresh crushed
Juice and zest of 1 Orange
½ c Lemon juice, fresh squeezed (About 3 lemons plus 1 for slicing)
2 slice Lemon, about ¼" thick
¾ c Lime juice, fresh squeezed (About 6 limes plus 1 for slicing)
4 slices Lime, about ¼" thick
1 c White Onion, minced
2¼ c Jack Daniels Whiskey, use a good one
1¾ c Grand Marnier
12 - 14 oz Pineapple, crushed with juice
½ t Cayenne pepper, use more for a spicier sauce
To Roast Garlic - Cut about ½ inch off of top of garlic. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat. Remove the papery skin from the garlic, but leave enough so that the cloves stay together. Put garlic into a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with a lid or foil. Bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 1 hour. Remove garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.
Combine water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, tomato paste, bay leaves, orange zest and allspice in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils then reduce heat until mixture is just simmering. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the pasty roasted garlic is squeezed out. Place the cloves in a small bowl and gently mash. Add to the sauce and whisk to combine. Add remaining ingredients to the pan and stir. Let mixture simmer for 1 hour or until sauce has reduced by about half and is syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over. Adjust seasonings as necessary. Remove from heat and remove bay leaves, lemon slice and lime slices. Discard. Let cool completely before using. May be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
Great to let flank or skirt steak, rib eye steaks, brisket or center cut pork chops, or chicken for that matter, marinate for 4 hours or more before grilling. We marinate brisket for 24 - 36 hours in a zip lock bag, refrigerated. Reserve the marinade.
Grill brisket for 6 - 8 hours over medium low (200 - 250°F), indirect heat and do not burn. Use a lot of wood chips to smoke the brisket - we use a combination of hickory, mesquite and cherry. Soak the chips 8 hours before using. Turn the brisket every hour and liberally mop with the BBQ sauce. Generously baste both sides the last 15 minutes of grilling.
Great with Bob's BBQ Beef Ribs, or on pork ribs. If you use pork, prepare and cook them the same way. Enjoy!

1½ T Salt
1 t Pepper, fresh ground
4½ T Garlic granules
3½ T Onion granules
3½ T Paprika
2 T Oregano, dried
1 T Thyme, dried
3½ T Mustard, dried
3 T Brown sugar
Note: This rub is absolutely great on Beer Can Chicken! Use it liberally on the chicken. (Don't forget to put about 2 tablespoons in the cavity. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better) refrigerated and grill for about 1½ hours over medium heat. I use a mixture of 3 parts hickory chips to 1 part mesquite chips in a gas grill. Start out medium-high direct heat - about 400°F to 450°F - for 45 minutes, reduce to indirect heat for 30 minutes and then direct heat for 15 minutes. Maintain the temperature throughout the cooking cycle. Also great on a rotisserie cooked the same way. However you cook the chicken, let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.)
Great with Tuna Burgers, Oriental Style or Kicked Up Beer Can Chicken.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and blend well. Rub forcefully into beef, pork or chicken. Let sit for 30 minutes before grilling. If using beef or pork, sear on a hot grill. Reduce heat to about 400°F and grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and let rest for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Recipe : Rockin' R's Bar-B-Q Sauce
Yield: 2 pints
Recipe Source: Robin and Bob Young
Ingredients:
4 c Apple cider vinegar
1 c Balsamic vinegar
1 c Brown sugar
½ c Olive oil
4 Garlic cloves, diced fine
2 lg Shallots, coarse chopped
1 T Rockin' R's Seasoned salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 T Basil, dried
6 oz Tomato paste
2 T Worchestershire sauce
1½ T Dried mustard
1½ T Paprika
3 T Garlic granules
2 T Dried onion
2 shakes Tobasco
1 t Cayenne pepper
5 T Liquid smoke
Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl. Whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour to marry flavors. Great on beef brisket or baby back ribs. Store refrigerated in a sealed container.
Lay brisket or baby back ribs in a glass bowl or a plastic zip lock bag. Completely cover with the sauce. Marinate for 2 hours or more, turning occasionally. Grill over medium heat searing both sides. Baste with sauce as needed.
Note: There are 2 ways you an use this sauce. (1) As listed above, which has a sweet/tart slightly peppery finish, or (2) After you let the sauce rest for an hour, pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Slightly cooking the sauce and reducing it somewhat, brings the paprika, cayenne and Tobasco alive! We like to split the batch in half and use the un-cooked version for marinating and the cooked version for basting. However you use the sauce, be sure to slow cook the meat over a medium heat. Enjoy!
