BBQ is serious business. Here are several basic rubs and Rat's sauce. Look at them and you will see similarities. They are all good in their own way. Adjust as you see fit and you will have a rub you can claim as your own.

At the moment, I'd just tell you to use Rat's sauce or buy bottled sauce.

I hope I gave credit, because not all of these belong to me. I just know they are all good.


***********************

Rat’s BBQ Sauce

Makes 2 quarts
Cooking time 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1 Cup Yellow Mustard
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 1/2 cups dried chopped onions (8 ounces, by weight), or 5 pounds of fresh onion, chopped
5 cups warm water
10 ounce bottle Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ketchup
6 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
3/4 cup Chili Sauce
6 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:

Pour warm water over the dried onions in a bowl and allow to rehydrate for 30 minutes.

In a pot of suitable size,, put all the ingredients, including the warm water and simmer for 2 hours or more, until the onions are very soft.

For basting sauce, take a portion of the sauce and add an equal amount of vegetable oil and heat. Use the top part of this mixture (the oil) for basting on the grill. The thicker sauce on the bottom can be painted on the meat during the last few minutes of cooking or served with the meat as a table sauce.

Notes:
This sauce is very similar to the two famous Ville Platte BBQ sauces. Jack Miller’s and Pig Stand. The recipe was reverse engineered based on the ingredients list and some knowledge of how a similar sauce was made.

Pig Stand sauce is slightly sweeter than Jack Miller’s sauce.

Chris Lilly’s rub and injection were posted above. For me those are must have for any Boston butt I smoke. I also use a finishing sauce after I pull:

Finishing Sauce (TD.com user Centinel credit to Smoking Meat Forums user soflaquer)
1 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon tony chachere’s
1 teaspoon course black pepper 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions: heat the vinegar up enough so that it dissolves the sugar. Then add the remaining ingredients. After you pull the pork, pour this all over the meat and mix.

That finishing sauce is scaled to a 10lb butt (weight before cooking).

I've used this as the rub on the last two butts I've smoked, but I think it would work well on a rotisserie as well.

2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Reserve a bit and you can make a pretty good sauce with it as well.

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup seedless blackberry preserves
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon spice rub (above)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke

Just made a batch of this for a butt I smoked yesterday.

I never make pulled pork without it now. The vinegar really cuts the fattiness of the pork.

So you take a portion and arse it?

You got a problem with that?



I guess I need to correct it in my copy of your recipe.

Sorry.

All good.

By the way, if someone wants to use fresh onions in that recipe instead of dried, they can chop up 5 pounds of onions instead.

Fresh onion

Thanks. I made that change, too.

However, I think the dried onion gives a different flavor (that I like) to the sauce than fresh would. As an example, IMO, grilled, reconstituted, dehydrated onions is a big part of the flavor of Krystal hamburgers. I believe the onions used on McDonald's burgers are used for the same reason.

I used the dried onions because I saw a video produced by some state agency where they featured Jack Millers. They showed the ingredients and they were using these huge containers of dried minced onions.

Part of my knowledge that went into my recipe is how my grandfather made a similar sauce, but one with only 4 ingredients. (His recipe is in the recipe collection and the lagniappe tab of the Jambalaya Calculator.) He used fresh onions sliced, not chopped.

Using the dried definitely matched the Jack Millers texture. Fresh would be different.

As far as McDonalds, there was leaked a McDonalds procedural manual that indicated that they indeed used dried onions that had been reconstituted. (Search for it under "McMenu". If someone wants it and can't find it, I can post a link.) But now, I find fresh onions on McDonalds hamburgers.
