Where Pool Meets BBQ – The Ultimate Summer Experience!

Our Story

Where It All Began

The poolbque concept was born during a sweltering July backyard party when our founder was shuttling between the grill and the pool every five minutes – sweating over brisket, then diving in to cool off, then back to check the ribs.

That’s when it hit him: why are we treating these as separate experiences when they’re clearly meant to go together? The best bites always happened poolside anyway, when everyone was relaxed, dripping wet, and reaching for that perfect sauce-slathered rib.

After 50+ years of perfecting our family BBQ sauce recipe, we realized that this should be shared and that we had created something special – not just a sauce, but an entire lifestyle that brings people together around food, fun, and water. [It’s still good and fun if there is no pool!]

Why Poolbque Works

Pool owners are always looking for unique ways to entertain. Poolbque creates an unforgettable experience that your guests will talk about all summer long. It’s not just BBQ – it’s a lifestyle!

The Ultimate Summer Fusion

Poolbque combines the best of both worlds – the refreshing fun of pool time with the delicious satisfaction of BBQ. Imagine grilling your favorite meats while staying cool by the pool, creating the perfect summer entertaining experience!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really a 50+ year old family recipe?

Absolutely! I was first introduced to this sauce when my wife and I were dating – we just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in June 2025. I watched my mother-in-law mix it up, but she never had a written recipe. After we got married, I set to work perfecting the recipe so it could be repeated every time. Now, after decades of family and friends gatherings, I’ve had more people try to bribe the recipe out of me than I can count.

What makes this sauce perfect for poolbque?

Honestly, it’s a sauce that can and should be used year-round, not just by the pool. It stores well in the refrigerator and ready for use at any time. It’s just a good, sweet BBQ sauce.

How do I get the recipe after purchase?

You’ll receive an instant digital download with the complete recipe, including exact measurements, step-by-step instructions, pairing guide, and storage tips.

Can I make this sauce without the beer?

The recipe includes a special beer ingredient that adds a depth of flavor that’s been part of our family tradition. It calls for only 1/3 cup, but adds that special touch of unique flavor to our sauce. We highly recommend trying it the original way first to experience the full flavor profile, and then make adjustments as your taste or dietary needs require.

What if I don’t have a pool? Can I still use this recipe?

Of course! While this sauce was perfected for the poolbque experience, it’s absolutely delicious for any BBQ occasion. The sauce works great for backyard grilling, tailgating, or any outdoor cooking adventure.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

We’re so confident you’ll love the recipes that we offer a 15-day Money-Back guarantee, subject to the terms noted in the FAQ.

How long does the sauce keep?

When stored properly in airtight containers in the refrigerator [like the ketchup bottle], the sauce will keep for up to 4-6 months – just like the recommendations on the main ingredient. The recipe makes a generous batch, perfect for multiple poolbque sessions!

How many pork steaks can I make with the recipe?

Of course, that would depend on how much sauce you apply to each steak. However, if I am making a large quantity of steaks, I will actually dip them in the warmed sauce once they are cooked through. With that method, 15+ steaks will get covered easily.

When should I apply the sauce?

Since the sauce contains sugar, putting it on too early can cause the steaks to burn. So, I add the sauce at the end when the steaks are done. I will coat one side, flip, let it warm, and repeat on the other side, or dip them before serving. Basically you can flip or dip!

What do you use on your pork steaks to keep them moist during grilling?

I learned this trick from my father-in-law, and it works every time. You take 50% ?? and 50% ??… catch the details when you get my recipes.

What kind of pool do you have?

We have a 24-foot diameter above-ground pool that holds 13,500 gallons. After celebrating our 50th anniversary this past June (2025), we decided to invest in a pool for our 10 grandkids rather than take an expensive trip – and it’s been the best decision! The pool has become a true “grandkids magnet.”

We purchased our pool from Watson’s (www.watsons.com) and couldn’t be happier with both the product quality and their excellent customer service. The kids absolutely love it, and it’s given our whole family countless hours of fun and memories.
