Condiment
Smoky BBQ Sauce
A tier
Smoky barbecue sauce leans on smoked paprika, liquid smoke, or chipotle more than on a named regional church. It is the bottle that tastes of campfire even if the meat never saw a pit. A weeknight glaze. Real pit smoke plus a vinegar or KC sauce is another path. Too much liquid smoke tastes of ashtray.
