The OP sauce is pretty close to Gates. I make some major modifications. First, leave out the liquid smoke, especially if you're using it on real smoked barbecue. I like a couple chipotle chilies and a little adobe in place of the cayenne. I also like a little fresh ginger, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, whole spices freshly ground, and homemade chile powder. Also use sea salt or Kosher salt, not that iodized crap.
