I found this recipe at the beginning of the summer and am just getting around to giving it a review. This is fantastic and soooo easy. I've never heard of Gates & Sons, but I will always use this BB Sauce anyway. Why buy it when I can make this. Tonight I am going to try and mix this with some honey, crushed garlic, and Frank's Red Hot to dip chicken fingers in! I can't wait. Thanks

This is a fabulous recipe that tastes very close to Gates & Sons. Nice spice, but not too much for most people. Right after mixing my taste testers thought it was too ketchupy. It's better the next day as the flavors meld. I used a KC Rib Rub that I found on About.com, marinated the ribs 24 hours, then baked them for an hour at 350 degrees. Finish them on the grill with this sauce. I received rave reviews, even from those who consider themselves rib connoisseurs! Makes a lot, but you'll use a lot, too!

Made this a few weeks ago for some pulled pork, very good. Didn't taste exactly like Gates to me, but can't quite put my finger on what was missing.
