I have also read that there needs to be a mixture of apple juice and apple cider . . .what is the difference of these two liquids? And should apple vinegar ever be used?

Eggmeister,[p] Apple Juice is a purified version of Apple Cider. Apple Cider Vinegar is VINEGAR!![p]The three liquids have difference flavor profiles and should be used as a recipe calls for them. While you could substitute juice for cider you can not substitute either for the vinegar.[p]

Eggmeister,[p]You absolutely can use apple cider vinegar. Especially in certain BBQ sauces. However, keep it away from aluminum because of possible negative interactions.

Celtic Wolf,[p]Thanks! That is the kind of info that I needed. Though I will admit, that on my first (and only)two rib cooks, I spritzed with an apple juice/apple vindegar mixture (because I didn't know better). The ribs were good, but I can't way to cook them correctly without the vinegar mixture. Thanks again for helping a newbie out!

BYC,[p] You can't use vinegar where ciderjuice is called for. You can't use CiderJuice where Vinegar is called for.[p] Well you can but it will definitely not taste the same.

Eggmeister,
This was always my favorite explanation of the difference.
[ul][li]Cider vs Apple juice[/ul] -
Eggmeister,
They're all different as others have said. But a lot of us use apple cider vinegar. I use a 50-50 mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar for spritzing. A lot of sauces also call for it.

Eggmeister,
Just did a competition this weekend and used about a 80/20 mixture juice (80%). I liked the way my ribs came out but too many variables to tell if tat was the difference but they were very tender.

Buster Dog BBQ,
So what did the judges think about your ribs, did you place ok? Where did you compete?
