This BBQ sauce is pretty good. I made a couple of exeptions to the recipe, only added half the garlic, as that was all I had, added no water, but instead a bottle of Coors Light. While it's a good sauce, it still doesn't have the flavor I was hoping for. Since it made such a big batch, I can experiment with it and will probably add some ground chipotle pepper, yellow mustard and a bit of liquid smoke (I know, a barbeque cardinal sin. I'm looking forward to putting in on some pulled pork tomorrow!

I just made this sauce...it is delicious. I will follow some of the reviews the next time...cutting down on the garlic and chili powder and will use beer instead of water...just want to see if its any better than the original recipe.

A little bit disappointed at this receipt. I watched this episode and couldn't wait to make this, but it wasn't thick enough, and way to tangy, not the kind of BBQ sauce that I like.
