I made the rub when I didn't like all the recipes for rub that I found
in alt.food.barbecue, because I don't like chile powder or cumin (or
too much cayenne or paprika in certain recipes). I made the sauce when
I was trying to duplicate Bone Suckin Sauce - doesn't taste anything
like it, but it's good. (If there's anyone who actuallycan get me a
recipe for bone suckin sauce, post it.) I like to use the sauce as a
dipping sauce rather than a finishing sauce.

rub:

1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon black pepper


sauce:

1 can tomato paste
3/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup honey
1.5 oz wasabi
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon texas pete's hot sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Have you read the ingredients list on Bone Suckin' Sauce? I think
you're using too much powdered ingredients when they use fresh. You
have several of the ingredients out of order. i.e. they list apple
cider vinegar second, you have it 5th, and you have mole-asses 2nd and
they have it 5th. That alone could change the taste/flavor
dramatically. Also, you forgot the "Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor"
