Well, I finally got around to smoking Claire's Faux Woody's #2 today, giving it (and a 12-pound brisket) 5 hours under hickory smoke. I can't say the result is an unqualified success -- it intensified the sharpness and smokiness of the flavor, but the sauce tastes less like Woody's now than it did before.

Oh well, it was worth a try. It'll be good on the brisket.

Cheers,
Michael
