In honor of the biggest grilling and barbecuing weekend of the year, I am proud to officially announce the completion of a project that I have been working for almost a decade now. I have been collecting vintage cookbooks, mostly barbecue related, for a long time. I have been scanning and cataloging the barbecue sauce recipes from each of these 150+ cookbooks and compiling them all onto a website that you can now see here: https://shadeone.com/bbq/
Enjoy!
 
Very nice collection Jamie, thanks for posting. I took a quick look through it and was instantly drawn to the Campbell soup barbecue sauce recipes because I still get quick recipe ideas from their website. I just can't imagine BBQ sauce made with tomato soup tasting good. Anyways, I'm going to look through it more later.

Great collection Jamie! Thanks for posting it. Amazing what al large % of what was called BBQ back then was cooked in the oven. Guessing grills weren't too popular yet. The first I remember Dad grilling was in the mid 60s. Probably just as well. He thought BBQ was supposed to be crusty all the way to the core :) I can still hear Mom yelling, "One of you boys get your father away from the damn grill."

Thanks for Sharing this, Lot's of great recipe. I've been looking for something along these line. I'm trying to start coking the old ways of Que.
 
Holy moly, well I missed this! That’s a heck of a collection, wow. Funny to think of some of the brands that had those, Sears, Kenmore, Reynolds Wrap. Good Housekeeping, which I didn’t know was so old itself!

Its easy to forget, going and buying a grill wasn’t always an option.
 
Thanks Jamie. I just got on here to see if there was a recipe for a vintage chicken basting sauce. Now I can pick and choose.
