i never even heard of liquid smoke until March. I’ve used it once for beef ribs (oven-cooked at 250 for 4-5 hours) and they were definitely smoky and good. It could be that the ribs were also high quality good.
I know that pork ribs and pork is super tasty but I try hard to not have any pork in the house except for salami and occasional Italian sausage for myself. So no ribs or bacon here.

While one can make good southern BBQ at home, liquid smoke is not the answer. That said, while I love good BBQ (and there are numerous different southern options), it just isn't the same at home. I can make a mean pulled pork, which is one of my staples for department pot lucks, but it just isn't the same.
