I'm extremely late to this thread and I wasn't aware Boardroom was gone. I can, however, give you a couple recommendations for alternative sauces.

Gates Fiorella's and, possibly, the closest match to Boardroom, but they don't list an online menu (perhaps you could sweettalk them into sending you some :))... Hayward's Pit

It has a normal room temperature of farenheit 451.

No Native Americans in Germany where I lived in the 60's and those Germans had somthing cookd on the grill called spitz braten Tasted just like my south Texas German relitives BBQ?

[Restorer]

I suspect grilling meat over fire goes back just about to the invention of fire, and that people would spice and season the meat as they developed or found seasonings.

That the whole process was "invented" by the Indians and then stolen by whitey is just ludicrous.

Support diversity: Mustard-based, Ketchup-based, Vinegar-based....

Absolutely! And a few others (like my secret 'proprietary' sauces/rubs) not mentioned.

jalapeno peppers! Make sure to have a cold beverage handy to put out the fire!

As they were only jalapeno there would be no need to put out the mild fire.

You're correct about the milk. Plain white rice also works to reduce the burn if using a true hot pepper.

[Bernard Marx]

Be careful of cutting up peppers. Don't touch them barehanded and then touch any part of your eyes or face without washing your hands well before.

Guys, there are other parts of your body you shouldn't touch after handling hot peppers. Hint: if you're drinking beer, relieve your bladder BEFORE doing the peppers. Then wash your hands very thoroughly after they contact the peppers! I'm passing on to the Brotherhood painfully-learned knowledge.

Its so volatile they copied it for rocket fuel.

[groanup]

They tried using it for rocket fuel but it melted the fuel tanks.

Really hate to burst the BBQ bubble because I like BBQ so much.

But a perfectly acceptable BBQ sauce can be made from mixing either Pepsi and catsup or Coca Cola and catsup.

I'm partial to Carolina style, pulled.

"barbecue
1657, from Amer.Sp. barbacoa, from Arawakan (Haiti) barbakoa "framework of sticks," the raised wooden structure the Indians used to either sleep on or cure meat. Originally "meal of roasted meat or fish," modern popular noun sense of "grill for cooking over an open fire" is 1931. "http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?l=b&p=2
