I have made this recipe for the last three years for our association BBQ with a few variations and I have had so many people ask where they could buy my sauce. What a wonderful base recipe. I couldn't have done it without you. This year we have had two bbqs, the first time I tripled the recipe and this that still wasn't enough, so this time I have quadrupled the recipe, sure hope that this will last the length of the bbq. Again, thanks for such a wonderful recipe. GN
