I like sauce myself and love it cooked on but so many around us like it dry I just serve the sauce on the side for company. When it's just us it gets the sauce on the grill.

Personally, sauce on the side here, always, and even on the side, I don't want it with sugar or honey in it. Too many BBQ places nowadays, it's like eating candied meat.
Wife does opt for meat slathered in the sweet stuff tho.

Sounds like Memphis style BBQ. I lived there 3 different times in my life (3 or 4 years altogether) and never could get used to their sweet flavored (and overly abundant) sauces..it was like eating my dessert along with the main course.
Central and West Texas style is what I go for. Arguably, (barely) the best BBQ in Texas is in Lockart , a place called Kreuz Market. Took me years to finally find out what all the praise was about but finally made it last month. If you like the taste of the meat and the smoke, and a hint of rub, this is the place. They don't use any sauce and none is at the tables or available anywhere in the place and it's rare anywhere in Central or West Texas to find any overly sweetened BBQ. The Kreuz bunch has been doing it for 118 years now, so I guess they know a bit about the BBQ business.

East Texas BBQ, is something I can easily forget, or wish I could. It's a Southern style, usually chopped, with emphasis on some thin sweet sauce, instead of concentrating on the meat, subtle spice and smoke from whatever it was cooked with. Almost always cheaper cuts of meat.
Heartburn city. Barely even qualifies as BBQ imo.

CtryBoy I think that looks like I could take a piece & enjoy!
I can & do eat both types of BBQ -- rubbed or sauced. Depends on my mood and the meat being used plus how prepared. Chopped & pulled, rubs. Pork ribs, either way, chicken either way but it is the one that can take a sweeter sauce. The sides served help me decide. Never takes the place of dessert! Nope, that is a totally different selection.

I think I have to agree with Mini. Sometimes with sauce is good and sometimes I really would prefer to taste the meat and smoke flavor with a bit of rub spices.
Must have been quite the hike!!

Not the distance. Lockhart is close to Austin and I try to stay as far way from that new age socialist bastion of weirdos as I possibly can. I suspect the number of native Texans living there is now comparatively small, as most who immigrate to Texas from other states seem to be drawn like some kind of magnet to that area. If I hadn't been on my way to West Texas to look at some property anyway, I wouldn't have bothered but the BBQ was fantastic.
