South Carolina Style Barbeque Sauce

My brother-in-law makes the best pulled pork. He takes it seriously and does all the extra work to get the flavor and texture just right. Getting an invite to his house for pulled pork is kind of a big deal. While dining at his house one evening, he introduced me to South Carolina barbeque sauce and I've been hooked ever since.
I was in the habit of buying the sauce, but it's not always easy and inexpensive to find quality versions around here. So, last time I bought a bottle, I played around with the ingredients until I came up with this easy recipe that, according to David, tastes even better.
 This recipe makes enough for about 4 sandwiches

Ingredients
3 T tomato paste
2 T yellow mustard
1 T +1tsp white vinegar
2 tsp packed brown sugar
10 drops Franks Red Hot 
1 smidgen* kosher salt
1 smidgen* garlic powder

Wisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
Serve and enjoy!
Leftovers should be refrigerated.

 *A smidgen is 1/2 pinch or 1/32 tsp, or you could use special measuring spoons. The following affiliate link shows the spoons I got for my birthday:
