A favorite of mine  for Jerk chicken or pork - especially PORK is
WalkerWoods Jerk Sauce - a paste made with all sorts of nice things, and a
good quantity of Scotch Bonnets.  I have been to Jamaica and tasted the Jerk
bbq's there, and have  found this product to best copy the real flavor.

No real recipe, just smear the stuff all over whatever you are bbq'ing, pop
in a plastic bag and let soak in over night.  Throw it on the barbie (not
the Barbie doll) and gently smoke until done.  Tastes to me just like the
real stuff, except that I don't have real pimiento wood to smoke with.  A
little mesquite might be nice, but I have prepared with mostly hickory or
pecan.

Available in some gourmet stores (the obvious place for any comestible
containing our beloved chile pods), and in Caribbean and Jamaican stores
(even Kansas City has several sources).

Also, if you happen into a Jamaican store - don't forget the Graces Hot
Sauce - a common table variety of hot sauce along the general lines of a
Tabasco Sauce, except more flavor, less vinegar, and MUCH hotter.  My
favorite table all purpose sauce.
