Being one who isn't all that fond of barbecue, I was hesitant to try this recipe at first, but the pictures on Bill and Hayley's site made it look so yummy, that I had to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! This recipe, with it's homemade, primal (sugar free/grain free) barbecue sauce is AMAZING! Everyone in my family loved it!
