Note

The Western BBQ sauce is quite tangy and spicy due to the vinegar and Tabasco. Adjust the sugar or Tabasco to your heat preference.

For indirect grilling, ensure your grill temperature stays around 325-350ðF. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.

Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

If using a gas grill, turn off the burners directly under the meat and use the outer burners for indirect heat.
