About

Here’s another great Memphis-style sauce to liven up the smoker. The secret to this recipe is the use of different types of sugars to bring out the flavors of outdoor smoke cooking. This recipe also calls for a little liquid smoke, but don’t feel obligated to add it if you don’t like bottled smoke flavorings.
