I must say, There is just something nostalgic about grilling or smoking outdoors when it's snowing…. I BBQ alot all year long, I got dam near all the smoking woods, including a pear, "Which won't be ready till next year". I still gotta find some Mulberry…. Dam it Chvy, you opened a can of discombobulation with a state of OCDFFMTN…….
I make my own marinade with olive oil, vinegar and sometimes a BBQ sauce as the base. I buy spices in 16-32 oz sizes at sams club or amazon for the price of a tiny bottle at walmart. I like it better than Italian dressing cuz you can make it a lot of different ways. I use dried minced garlic, lemon pepper, Cajun, Italian seasoning,dill,oregano,cilantro,jerk seasoning, chili powder, dried mustard powder,etc, etc, Liquid base ingredients, soy sauce, A1, ketchup, all different kinds of BBQ sauce,Worstershire, beer, bourbon , whiskey , etc. MANNNN some of the marinades are delish. Some soso. Havent made a bad one yet.
AWESOME!…. Mom used to say, there is no rules in cooking and she cooked as a chef all her life, … If you like it, Nuff said!
