BBQ goddess?

So I was reading one of my many cookbooks and I found some recipes that sounded really good.  I made a list and went to the store, and of course I was shopping in the middle of the night so I found only a few similar ingredients that he called for in his recipes.  Today I'm cooking a couple of his recipes but with my own twist with about half of the ingredients called for.
For the first time EVER I actually wrote down every step of the cooking process and exactly what I put in the recipe.  I feel like this is a culinary achievement for me, at least my an achievement for my advancement into stardom.  The recipes will be as followed.  I find them to be a great and cheaper alternative to the fo fo 1000 exotic ingredient list that most chefs use, not like that's a bad thing though.  I'm absolutely sure I will do that soon when I either have money to buy those ingredients or justify paying it.  Today is not that day.

BBQ Rub for Brisket

2 Tbs New Mexico chili powder
1 Tbs ground regular chili
1 Tbs Pasilla chili
1 Tbs Paprika
3 Tbs ground mustard
3 Tbs ground cumin
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp both black and white pepper
4 cloves minced garlic

Mix and rub 3 pound beef brisket with rub.  Cover with foil and bake in oven at 250 for 2 hours.  Finish on Grill for 40 minutes on med low heat.  Base with BBQ sauce in oven and then twice on grill.

OMG BBQ sauce, seriously I made this at home?

4 Tbs olive oil
1 yellow and 1 red onion both minced
4 cloves garlic minced
kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp pasilla pepper
2 tsp ground regular chili (New Mexico Molido)
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp New Mexico chili pepper
7 oz can chipotle peppers
3 tsp ground mustard
29 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup each balsamic and Apple cider vinegar
2 Tbs yellow mustard
1/2 cup dark brown sugar

Take olive oil, and minced onion into a large heavy bottomed sauce pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until completely translucent.  Add salt, pepper and garlic to the mixture and cook for 2 minutes until very fragrant.  Add all chili peppers and spices including canned chipotles and cook until it smells so good you can't stand it (2-3 minutes).  Add tomato sauce and cook for about 5 minutes and then add all remaining ingredients and cook for about 10 minutes so all flavors combine into the happiest mixture known to man.  Take an immersion blender and blend all ingredients until very smooth.  This sauce can be simmered until brisket is ready to be served.  NOM!
