Southern Barbecue
INGREDIENTS
2 (2 liter) bottles cola
1 (16 ounce) bottle red wine vinegar
2 18 ounce bottles Worcestershire sauce
1 (16 ounce) bottle lemon juice
2 (16 ounce) bottles zesty Italian dressing
1 pound dark brown sugar
1 bottle spicy barbecue dressing or seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
80 pounds pork ribs
40 pounds chicken
Start fire in grill, scattering wood pieces (pecan or oak, aged 6 months or more) on top to smoke and add flavor. Position racks as far from fire as possible.
While grill heats, prepare a sauce. Mix together cola, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Italian dressing, sugar and barbecue seasoning.
Sprinkle both sides of meat with salt, pepper and 3/4 of the barbecue sauce. Rub in with your hand.
Using a clean paintbrush, baste every 10 minutes with remaining sauce. Turn meat only to prevent burning. Keep lid closed between bastings.
Cook for 55 minutes or until a cut in the center of several pieces shows desired stage of doneness.
