Just for the record, I agree with everyone who says that BBQ doesn't require sauce.
However, for the sake of completeness, most of the rest of the country believes that BBQ requires sauce; if it doesn't, it's just "smoked meat", not BBQ.
In deference to my fellow Americans, I say that beef brisket in Texas should be naked. Every other protein in every other part of the country is fair game for whatever the locals want to slather on it. I'll try pretty much anything that doesn't have too much mustard in it.
