i'm a longtime veg-head, so i can't help you with the meat part of this, but i wanted to give you a vote for the BBQ sauce. i'm pretty sure Stubbs is the stuff my brother raves about. This is my brother, Mr I Don't Like Anything On My Meat Except Maybe Ketchup.

I hope it came out OK, and this doesn't stop you from forging ahead into the Wonderful World of Crock-Pottery.
