Cloning Sauce question
So, normally, I am against cloning commercial sauces, as I would rather support people who do all the work to bring a sauce to market. But, and interesting task has come to me. About 15 years ago, a restuarant in the Bay Area called Rod's Hickory Pit made a great red and brown BBQ sauce. I am trying to clone these long gone sauces.
The owner, Rod Cotton, was from Oklahoma, he ran a large vertical brick pit, it was a thing of beauty and quite unique to this area. I am wondering if any of you fellers, especially from the Oklahoma/North Texas areas might have an idea about the sauces. Are there sauces typical to that region that might be a red or brown sauce that I can start with. My memory is that the brown was sweeter, but still had a strong tart quality, the red was almost like a Memphis red sauce. Idears?

I heard that Embers Restaurant in Pinole, CA uses the same sauce. Don't know if it's true or not though. There are probably some differences but you may be able to get some there and use it as a model to clone the sauce from Rod's Hickory Pit.
