I forgot one thing:  the sauce.

Here's the sauce I found on the Texas Barbecue site
(www.Texasbarbecue.com, I think):


BBQ Sauce - Texas Style

INGREDIENTS:

    * 1/4 cup cider vinegar
    * 1/2 cup ketchup
    * 1/2 cup water
    * 3 tablespoons white sugar
    * 1 teaspoon salt
    * 1 teaspoon chili powder

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium bowl or bottle, combine the vinegar, ketchup, water, sugar,
salt and chili powder. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until
ready for use.

To use barbecue sauce as a marinade: Dilute sauce by mixing two beers to
each cup of barbecue sauce. Mix well.  Never marinade meat with full
strength sauce.


And with that last paragraph, one more question:  given the two meats
(a rack of spareribs and a roasting chicken), about how much marinade
should I use for each?   ('m doing them in different containers to avoid
contaminsation, obviously.)
