Need some BBQ input

Alright fellas, I know this is a topic near and dear to many of your stomachs, so I'm hoping to get some help here. The situation is basically this: I'm traveling Europe (currently in Tarano, Italy), and staying quite a length of time in each place with families. Now, naturally nobody over here knows how to do proper BBQ, and I'm thinking I'd like to start introducing it to my hosts as I go along. At home, I'm no good at doing BBQ but I sure do love eating it - at the least, I've made some decent stuff with packaged spices and BBQ sauces on the stove or in the oven. Can't find good sauce over here though, and I don't know what kind of spices go into a good mix, so that's what I'm looking for input on. There's a couple caveats, though:
1) I don't have a BBQ or smoker. Yes I know this is kind of a retarded problem, but like I said I've done some decent stuff on the stove or in an oven, so that's what I'll be working with.
2) I can't get super complicated with spice mixes and/or sauces - buying 60 different ingredients is just not practical for me, so the simpler the better.
Any help folks?

Hope you're enjoying your trip. Wish I was with you. I have family living in No. Italy....
Also, glad to hear your trip is going well, despite the lack of BBQ.

The amounts vary so greatly in every recipe, that it is a trial and error deal. LOL!
cider vinegar (Regular vinegar works)
ketchup/catsup (depending on east or west coast)
water
finely chopped onion (we use onion powder)
minced garlic (we use garlic powder)
butter
molasses
mustard
brown sugar
lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce or equivalent
paprika
chili powder
oregano
thyme
salt
Most southern BBQ or Texas BBQ recipes should give you a pretty good direction.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Also, if you only have certain ingredients to work with....or are having trouble finding other ingredients, check out All Recipes.com Advanced Search, pretty customizable and there's also lots of reviews on here. Hope that helps.
