I don't think that recipe is authentic because of the liquid smoke. Gates was started in the early 1940's before liquid smoke existed. And I've never detected it in Gates sauce, where it's easily detected in other BBQ sauces like Oklahoma Joe's. It wouldn't surprise me if ketchup was one of the starting ingredients. It's probably Hunt's, as Lamar and the Chiefs have been tight with Gates BBQ for a long time
