I’ve got a great friend down yonder in Texas land. His name is Michael Farmer and he runs a company called KA-Ranch BBQ Company. I got hooked up with him a couple years ago when he offered to send me some rub samples. The package arrived and he had included a handful of Texan style recipes and a tshirt! His products made a great impression on me and I enjoyed the stuff he sent me (except I never could get that XL shirt to shrink enough to really fit me. 🙂

Since I started publishing StoryQue, I asked Michael if he’d like to contribute to the magazine. We had sort of lost track of each other, but he was eager to help with the magazine. In the February issue, we published his Dr Pepper Brisket Recipe and in the upcoming March issue, we’re running the story behind his new “David’s Overall Rib Rub” and step by step instructions on how to smoke ribs for beginners.

Michael was kind enough to send me another package of goodies and it arrived today Priority Mail. Everything was packed very well with styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap. He gave me a pint of Fort Worth Rib and Brisket Sauce, a one pound bag of David’s Overall Rib Rub, a glass shaker each of Wild Willy’s No 1derful Rub and Trail-Dust (these two didn’t have labels yet).

My Barbecue Sauce Recipe Book

Maybe you have a barbecue sauce recipe that you want to share with everyone. Some of my subscribers want to learn how to make amazing barbecue sauces.

I’d like to compile a bunch of BBQ sauce recipes into one big “saucy” recipe book. So I need you, my subscribers and blog readers, to help me out.

Click here to submit your recipe, and it’s very likely I’ll put it in my book. Also, I’ll be sure to send you a copy once it’s done. 🙂

Without the help of my readers, it won’t happen. So I look forward to hearing from you.

Have fun!
