I can give the ingredients for a BBQ sauce that my family uses that sounds similar to Mr. Q's. It would be good if I knew how red his BBQ sauce was or if it was more clear. If sauce has more redness to it then you will use more ketchup in the recipe below and if not, you will use less. The ketchup is what is going to give the BBQ sauce its thickness.
Start off with a saucepan with Vinegar (about 2-3 cups) seasoned with black pepper and cayenne pepper (red pepper), add Louisiana hotsauce(about 1/2 bottle), add about 2 Tbsp. of margarine (you can add more). Add 1/2 cup water. Allow this mixture to roll to a boil, then let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes on low/med heat.
Depending on how thick you want it, start to add ketchup, stir mixture and continue to simmer. I usually do add a pinch of sugar, but I guess you don't have to if you don't want to--it's not someting you will taste in this recipe. This recipe will be more hot and spicy than anything---more akin to what you find on hot wings.
This is a recipe that my family has used for years so it's one that I just know how to make, thus no measurements so taste the sauce and decide what you think you need to add---it will usually be a little water, more cayenne pepper, or more ketchup. This recipe is also for at least a whole chicken with sauce left over so cut down on the items for less sauce.
