Vinegar Baste for BBQ?

The Ranger said:

I was watching the Food Network this week and a couple of the shows are
featuring BBQ. One of the places basted their beef briskets and ribs
with a vinegar mix just prior to serving. Why would you basted beef with
vinegar and is it an apple cider vinegar?

Mmmmm, vinegar! I have no idea what kind of baste they're using, but my
mom's barbecue sauce is very thin, and is vinegar-based. Yum, yum, yum!

I use a mopping wash on my ribs that sounds similar to what you're
describing.

2 cups
2 cups water
1/4-1/2 sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

I use a dry rub on my ribs. After the first hour of cooking I begin
mopping on the wash whenever I think of it, or at least every 45 minutes or
so until the ribs are done

Is that first "2 cups" supposed to be vinegar?

I got this post 3 times, too. Must be my server.

Oh for Pete's sake, I meant to say that I got Wayne's post and
the other one three times too. Guess I got so busy apologizing I
forgot what I was trying to say. I think I'll go back to scrubbing
the kitchen floor...

Not your fault, Wayne; obviously just a glitch. Besides, you're one of
the few people that I don't mind re-reading anyway... :-)

it depends on what you mean by BBQ. If its grilling on high heat, then vinegar
is not a good idea, as it slows down the browning process. If its low heat
BBQing, then it wont be so bad.
