re: Root beer as a steak marinade

If you need marinade to eat steak, you don't like steak

I feel the same way about BBQ. If you gotta smother it in BBQ sauce, you don't really care about the actual smoked meat.

I love really good, smoked moist brisket and ribs. If they're seasoned well to start with, then slow smoked with good wood, covering them up with sauce just seems criminal.
