"You can grill on anything, ... When I was traveling around the world researching 'The Barbecue! Bible,' I saw people grilling in hubcaps, and the barbecue was great." -Steve Raichien, Barbecue Guru

Barbecue gets a bad rap. This is because people only think of ribs or other high fat cuts of meat. This sauce is great on shrimp, fish, lean pork chops or pork tenderloin. There's no sodium in the sauce but you can add a little to the food you are cooking - about 1/8 teaspoon per serving.
