Ever try some of that LIQUID SMOKE??????

that might NOT BE such a bad idea.....

For me I have to add such things as a COUPLE of CHIPOTLE CHILES with seeds

removed of course!!!! along with ONION and at LEAST three good cloves of chopped garlic.... a sliced key lime at all that bad as well....

I've never heard of Blues Hog.  But, I don't have any problem with sweet barbecue sauce, in fact I prefer it.  I love the brown sugar-based or honey-based sauces.  The local restaurant we go to for barbecue, Harmon's in Cibolo, Texas, uses a honey-based sauce that is to die for.

 

My favorite bottled sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's, and I keep a bottle on hand at all times (never know when you'll have a barbecue emergency).  It's very yummy on chicken or beef (haven't tried it on pork yet).

Wiley I don't know if this one is too sweet for you but it is mild. It is better with chicken and pork but it is ok with beef. I make it all of the time. It's easy to make.

When making hamburgers on the pit I use a off the shelf bbq sauce "Stubb's it may be a local thing as it is made in Austin.
