Jeff, did you mean 25 lbs uncooked?

I am having a party for 30 adults and 6 children this weekend, and need to know how many butts I should smoke. I was thinking 3 7-8lb butts. Any suggestions?

Kevin I like it! My wife was saying that we needed to name them. I like MossSauce. Can't wait for feedback after you guys make them!

Sorry, I forgot about that important step. I kept it on low as I added the ingredients to the ketchup, and then brought the temp up to get it to simmer. I let it simmer for about 15 minutes, and then brought the temp back down to low for 15 minutes, and then off. Thanks for reminding me Chris!

Hey guys! After many batches of sauce, I think I finally cracked it...or at least I've got close enough to satisfy myself, and everyone who has tried it. Here we go: 1/2 cup ketchup 4 Tbs apple cider vinegar 2 Tbs Worc. Sauce 1 tsp liquid smoke 2 Tbs dark corn syrup 2 Tbs light corn syrup 2...

Rita, Got my sauce yesterday, Thanks!!! You were right about it being smokier than the sauce they give you with the ribs. Boy does it taste good. It is definately different than the sauce I made last weekend. I will be smoking again this weekend, and will attempt to clone the sauce, again...

Kevin and Rita, I made a version of the sauce this weekend, following Kevin's suggestions. It was awesome. From my memory, it was pretty close to Fatt Matts. However, I am waiting to post the "clone" recipe until I receive the bottle of sauce that Rita has generously purchased for us for...

Thanks for the quick response. I'll do as you say, and hope for the best. I'll post the results when I try it this weekend. Thanks again!

Awesome Kevin! Thanks for the coaching, I can't wait to try it again. The sugar, salt, and worcesthire amounts looked okay? I was trying everything I could. I will buy some molasses and light corn syrup today. Will this be in addtion to the dark corn syrup or instead of? Thanks!

I finally tried to make the sauce. I did not go well. I have never made a ketchup based sauce, and could not fiure out what I was missing. In doing so I think I over-tweaked the recipe. The coloring was perfect, the taste was completely different. I didn't like what I had made at first, but...

I made the dreamland sauce, and thought it was a little bland and watery. I added a tablespoon of salt, and simmered it for 3 hours. After doing that, it thickened and tasted a lot better, and closer to that of dreamland.

Thanks. Can't wait to try this.

Awesome breakdown. So essentially it is ketchup, worcestershire sauce, a drop of liquid smoke, small amount of light corn syrup, and mustard. The sauce is orange, so I would expect there to be a decent amount of mustard in it to attain that color. So it is simple, but they want us to think...

I have the taste memorized in my buds. I will post when I come close. Let me know if you have any luck yourself!

I guess I was wrong about it being so simple. I had no idea that Fat Matt could use so many ingredients! Thanks for posting the ingredients, you saved me a 40 minute drive. Its a place to start in making my own version.
