Taking Open Pit BBQ Sauce to Next Level

BUFFALOMOOSE

My family loves it and I like it. Anyone have a method to take it to the next level?  I was thinking Habanero Death Dust to crank up the heat and worcestershire, fish sauce, ect to give it umami.  If no one has a recipe, would appreciate any recommended ratios in order to tinker.

Had to do the Google thing for Open Pit Bbq Sauce , I’m not much of a save guy, but when I do I usually mix with Vinegar and Homey , not really next level but makes a great glaze, and to your point , Fish Sauce for the win

if you make it yourself you could use diced habaneros from the get go. why am i thinking the bottled sauce doesnt use rice and champagne vinegar
