Bbq sauce from scratch

Anyone got a recipe they like? I think I’m going to start making my own. I’ve done different varieties over the years: Dr Pepper, coke (the soda version), root beer, molasses vs brown sugar, etc
Never really found one that wowed me. I’ve recently gone crazy buying fruit trees and berries, and might start processing those into sauces and stuff.
Any competition pit masters in here? Maybe the best non store or restaurant sauce I ever had was from a competition guy who lived around Hinesville GA, near Savannah.

It isn't what I grew up with, but I've become a fan of thin vinegar NC style sauce. This website has a lot of good info on that style of 'que and a sauce recipe... scroll down for sauce A.

His cookbook is a great read for basic pitmaster knowledge. It covers most everything, and is interesting even if you don't use the same type of grill.
I also got the impression that maybe, just maybe, he figured out how to make a great living and get to stay up all night drinking beer while tending a fire that, based on your grill, should tend itself fairly well. To that, I can only say, kudos!

3/4 C Brown Sugar

No offense. But I have to go to the store to buy a bottle of ketchup, I might as well just buy a bottle of BBQ sauce...
Where do ketchups grow?
I want a recipe from an old Cajun me-maw who had to wrestle alligators to get to the tomato plants.

No offense taken but OP didn’t list the ingredients he’s willing to work with. Many houses typically already have ketchup. He also didn’t mention it needs to be from a Cajun grandma

I’ve made double batches of this No. 5 Sauce many times, and folks always love it. I customize it each time with things like hot sauce, Aleppo pepper, unique chili powders, etc.
You can always find the recipe by googling No. 5 sauce, and it will take you to the Weber bulletin board where Steve Petrone posted it in 2005. I think he said he worked on all sorts of complex sauce recipes, then decided it all came down to 5 simple ingredients.
No. 5 Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce
1 tablespoon rub
Simmer to marry the flavors and thicken as desired.
