[RGC1982]

I think you want to try adding a dark sweet/hot or just a dark sweet. Rufus Teague (KC) or Jack's (Nashville) have some alternatives you might want to add for a different taste.

[KiltedCook]

All of the Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and Stubbs sauces

[jeanmarieok]

KC, you beat me to it - we love Sweet Baby Ray's ....

[kchurchill5]

Both good

[JanPrimus]

As for Bigger producers..

Montgomery and Bullseye are the only ones that I know of that do not contain HFCS.

I still order a few bottles now and then from the Salt Lick in Texas. Mainly the Habenaro sauce.

Otherwise I make my own or get a locally made Raspberry Chilpolte BBQ sauce.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Sensuous Slathering Sauce http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/browse...
Bone Suckin'

[middydd]

Another vote for Dinosaur Sensuous Slathering Sauce. My favourite sauce ever. Perfect combination of spices, and balance of sweet and tangy.

[chileheadmike]

Blues Hog is my favorite
http://www.blueshog.com

Gates is a close second

[jb44]

thanks for the bluehog website!

I am going to order the bbq sauce and the rasberry chipotle sauce...also the red sauce............have you had all 3?

[chileheadmike]

No, just the original. We use it in competitions. Its sweet and just a little spicy.

[liu]

Great project, jb44!
I'll be listening with much interest.

After having gone through a stage of trying some of the "gourmet" BBQ sauces, we still like the ubiquitous KC Masterpiece (any flavor) best! It serves well as a marinade and as a sauce.

http://www.kcmasterpiece.com/

[jb44]

tonite we tried....Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ! was tasty.... but the gas grill ran out of gas.....so we baked it..... pretty tasty sauce.....

KCM was my go to sauce for years.......since I tried Gates......life is different!

Has anyone tried the Budweiser BBQ Sauce?

[liu]

Gates...I will have to look for it.

jb44 - Where are you? I am on the West Coast, and, of course, some of these names are not familiar to me. I wonder if Gates is on our shelves.

[jb44]

Gates is from KC.......and you can only get it at the restaurant....

speaking of which....are there any websites...designated for BBQ sauce?

Im based in ny state......
a lot of these are specific to a restaurant....some you can get in the supermarket.....

I really want to try Headcountry, and blue hog then corky's.....I will order a few at a time......

Gates is available here is San Diego, at a couple of diffrent markets at that. When the wife used to go to KC on buisness she could by it at local markets and big box stores as well. Just a heads up.

[liu]

Thanks, stevuchan! Your information has made my search much easier.

[jb44]

tried the Budweiser honey bbq tonite.... it was good. not great.

went like this when the sauce it the lips....

buttery>smooth>honey >heat >pepper flavor

It was good, but the value, sweet baby rays honey bbq sauce is way better.......

still trying to find out out about the beachwood. will take a break this week and will get back to bbq saucing testing next week....

[drgnflychic]

I love the Budweiser sauce, just used the last of my bottle up last night on some pork sirloins. It's one of the best I've tried in a really long time!

Normally in our house it's Sweet Baby Rays Original or Head Country. Head Country is probably the favorite of all my friends and family.

[jb44]

Is head country smoky? sweet?

i have decided i dont like liquid smoke. i like real charcoal flavor

thanks!

[jb44]

Which Budweiser Sauce did you try DRGNFLYCHIC? Beachwood or honey bbq?

[malibumike]

My favorite is mail order from Cookshack, their spicy bbq sauce, Ponca City, Oaklahoma.

[Alicat24]

Wow, am i ever jealous of that list, I've only heard of and tried a few that are available here. We like Sweet Baby Rays but my favorite is Hunt's Honey Hickory. For some reason last summer, the Hunt's became a bit too sweet to my taste buds and Hubbie's not a big fan of really sweet sauce. I bought a bottle of Open Pit and mixed it equally with the Hunt's and it's the perfect balance! Not overly sweet, tangy and spicy, it's my go to now.

I'm always open to new possibilities though, I'll be watching this thread with interest!

[CyndiA]

I'm a Stubbs fan too, and they carry that here at Food Lion.

Another favorite line is Chef Matt's Barbecue Sauce. His Firefighters Barbecue Sauce has the proceeds going to help firefighters and their families. It tastes pretty mild and then has a back kick that I really love. I've been wanting to try the one with a hint of raspberry so may go do that while I'm thinking of it. You need PayPal to order just a FYI. http://www.chefmatts.com/39201.html

Local (but I think it's sold outside the area) is Carolina Treet. It's a thin sauce with some vinegar. Orange color. It's different. We like it on chicken which is how it was first intended. http://www.carolinatreet.com/

[kchurchill5]

Baby Rays and Stubbs I like as well as a few other locals.

Personally I buy Publix plain and then doctor it up accordingly to what I like. Sweet, asian, spicy, tangy, peppers, mustard based, mesquite.

But sometimes some of the others are good.

I doctor most sauces up usually, but also use the store bought too which I think are just fine. I love the flavor. No complaints. Many good brands

[jb44]

Tried a couple more sauces this weekend! Stubbs bbq sauce was good but better when mixed with SB rays. It has a tomoto based fondation....

Bullseye was not good at all. very fake smoky flavor that was overpowering.
and will take off my list for sure.

This week trying: famous dave's and annie's (i finally found it)!!

Overall, my favorite has been Brooks! Looking forward to the day montgomery inn sauce comes in!

JB44 - Brooks is an upstate NY institution - has been all my life. Glad to hear their sauce still stands up. the last couple meals i had there were only meh but they were at off times so that could be the reason.
My BIL is a fan of dinosaur, not sure which variety he gets, but I hate his favorite. The smell makes me think of dog food! lol.
Personally i'm a fan of Red Hot & Blue's sufferin sweet sauce. Don't like much else on their menu (except that freaky potato salad)!

[jb44]

I found Budweiser Honey BBQ sauce but not the Beachwood Sauce.....
what's the primary difference? curious......

[jlp8]

Dinosaurs!

[jb44]

yeah i like dinosaurs.....esp the different sauces......
got to try em' all when i went to the restaurant.....

anyone ever tried montgomery inn sauce?

[chileheadmike]

All kinds of sauces here.

http://www.thekansascitybbqstore.com/

I've Tried and liked the following
Cowtown
Flower of the Flames
Four Men and a Pig
Smokin Guns
Arthu Bryant's
Among others.

Dislikes are
Fiorella's Jack Stack
Haywards
KC Masterpiece (double yuck)

[jb44]

WOW that could really help me along as there are a lot of sauces on my list that i haven't tried yet. BULLESYE was such a disapointment this week.....
back to the grill! thanks for that link!!!!

[kubasd]

to add to everyone else... I love what your're doing here! keep us updated.

FWIW
Sweet baby rays honey chipotle
any other sweet baby rays are good too
annie's I like (but then I love most annie's products)
Stubbs = yummy
Dinosaurs really is great
Bone suckin' is ok

[CocoaNut]

True Texas Barbeque Sauce - Distributed by: H-E-B Central Market (TX)

I think you can order it:
http://www.centralmarket.com/Company/...

Most TX sauces are tomato based and sweeter than their Carolina counterparts. This is is tomato based, but well rounded on sweet and vinegar, with the prevailing factor being a really nice spicy hot kick at the back of the throat. Medium in consistency (thicker than Carolina sauces, not as thick as KCM).

[chocolab]

Another vote for Dinosaur Sensuous Slathering Sauce. The best ever. Went to the place in ny

[Clarkafella]

I'm kind of surprised to not see Dancing Pigs listed here. It is from The BBQ Shop in Memphis, but I've seen it in grocery stores- Kroger, Publix, Brookshire's, etc.

We like the "hot" but it ain't for the faint of heart...

[wonderin32]

I have to agree with this one, Dancing Pigs is really good. I would put it above Corky's hands down. The spicy is really good, but it has a real kick to it. I tend to prefer my sauce with a bit less of kick, at least when I'm using it for BBQ.

http://www.dancingpigs.com/

I also really like Central BBQ, although their prices are outrageous for the sauce mail-order style. http://www.cbqmemphis.com/index.php?p...

If you happen to be in Memphis, it is worth picking it up.

[Hue]

Maurice's BBQ sauce is a mustard based and a bit different
http://www.mauricesbbq.com/onlinestor...

[CyndiA]

We had a local festival, and the elementary school was selling Dan's Southern Sauce to raise funds. I got a bottle of Dan's Sweet 'n Hot Sauce. Tried the sample of the regular, but I like "hot."

Dan picks up some of the North Carolina flavor with vinegar, but has quite a bit of tomato. So, it's kind of a cross-between sauce. Not as thin as NC. Not as thick as KS.

Billed for grilling or for dipping, but we grilled chicken and cooked it on.

Liked the back kick on the heat. Nice balance with the sweet flavor.

http://www.danssouthernsauce.com/swee...

[jb44]

Super i have added to the list to try!

I found Sticky Finger's sauce in a grocery store in CT.....crazy as it is from Memphis....so will try this weekend....(grill went down, thus there is a little delay with trying all the sauces!) WE'll see how it is and report back!

[alkapal]

sonny's bbq http://www.sonnysbbqstore.com/cgi-php/store.php?search=yes&subcat=3&catname=Bar-B-Q%20Sauce&sort_by=user10

[CyndiA]

The name of that barbecue sauce made me laugh (-:

[bbqboy]

Roadhouse BBQ Sauce out of Chicago tastes wonderful. 4 flavors/styles.
http://www.insanechicken.com/BBQ-Sauc...
Almost chunky, definitely thick.

(Thanks for that insane chicken link, K)

[kchurchill5]

http://www.insanechicken.com/Ahrun-s-Famous-Carolina-Mustard-Bar-B-Que-sauce.html
http://www.insanechicken.com/Ahrun-s-...

Great mustard based sauce. Love it for something different.

[jb44]

The grill has been down but im proud to report i have it working again!!!

wheew!

Tried Sticky Fingers today....Is MSG really neccessary these days?
I feel like i should boycott sauces that have msg. HFCS is bad eniough.
The description of this sauce goes something like this:
immediate super powerful black pepper flavor >sweet>tangy >smoky flavor

Tried the Budwesier Honey BBQ Sauce again for a second chance. It was good, but I wouldn't go out and purchase again if i had sweet baby rays as a choice.... Goes something like this: Tomato>stong vinegar flavor?velvety smooth consistency. Still want to find out more about the budweiser beachwood sauce.

Next up, Annie's BBQ

I was going to buy Bone Suckin and Hoboken Eddie's but $6 dollars for a small bottle seems steep when you would need two bottles. rip off im thinking.

keep the suggestions coming!

[jb44]

I'll take a Pass on Annie's Smoky Maple.....

The only flavor i tasted was pepper and fake smoke.

A friend of mine just dropped of a 64 oz bottle of brooks sauce from oneonta my favorite to date. i may just have to take a break........

This much i have learned: I don't like fake hickory or any other type of liquid smoke in my bbq sauce.

Still on the immediate list to try:
corky's
famous dave
head country

[jb44]

here's the yes/let's try list

On the no, sticky fingers, annie's maple, bullesye!,

gotta get some of the dancing pigs sauce for sure!

Is the "yes' list the ones you like then? Or, are they yes plus ones on the list to try and see? Tks.

[hazelhurst]

For the obvious reaon that it is local, the S. Louisiana Jack Miller's is a favorite but no one I know uses it straight. Add a half-ton of chopped garlic and let sit awhile(same for olive salad, FYI) and I add some "Slap Ya Mama" hot sauce, which is a Ville Platte product as well. One friend cooks it down a little after he adds his own touches. It is a great base to work with. Use it straight the firsst time, I think...

[DallasDude]

I have tried most on all the lists, and Big Ricks is nice. I know Big Rick (Wichita man and bigger than the label looks). He started making it out of his garage. Nice stuff. Big dude.

There are two other sauces from the same area that are must tries and you can order them online:

http://www.roysbbq.com/index.htm -- Roys is a small town Kansas BBQ sauce, too
http://www.bbqsauce.com/ -- Curley's makes fine sauces especially the hot version

Sweet baby rays is nice but needs some cayenne pepper.

Whatever sauce they use at Bubba's in Eureka Springs, AR is pretty damned good. While in Eureka visit the Silly Chile. The man stocks all sorts of BBQ and hot sauces.

[CyndiA]

Thanks for the info and links. I love to try out new sauces.

[KristieB]

Famous Dave's Original and Famous Dave's The Devil's Spit.

[HotMelly]

Here in West Palm Beach, Florida there used to be a BBQ restaurant called "Blue Front BBQ" The restaurant has been closed many years but they wisely chose to continue making the sauce. Blue Front BBQ sauce is in many of the local groceries here. I get mine at Publix. I'm sure if you googled it you could call and they can ship you a sample. Try the mild, the hot is not the original taste.

[alkapal]

hmm, i wonder if publix on the west coast (ft. myers) carries that "blue front"!

i like the sonny's bbq sauce, even though it's not fancy or expensive. http://www.sonnysbbqstore.com/cgi-php/store.php?search=yes&subcat=3&catname=Bar-B-Q%20Sauce&sort_by=user10

and i think i already mentioned "pat's ho-made" bbq sauce at publix. http://chickenwingproject.blogspot.co...

[HotMelly]

alkapal, I don't know how widely distributed it is in Florida but, I have asked the local Publix managers before if they could start ordering a certain item, and they usually do there best to get the item. I'm sure if you tried Blue Front BBQ sauce you would love it. Let me know how it goes. Google Blue Front BBQ and you will see all of the rave reviews.

[alkapal]

hot melly, thanks, i'll try and get some.

btw, here is an idea that my mom used with canned corn beef: adding sauteed diced onions, potatoes and bbq sauce. also good with leftover beef roast.

[Delucacheesemonger]

Used to live in Sarasota, had to buy my Blue Front on trips to east coast, excellent product.

[Firegoat]

I may have missed it if someone already mentioned it, but you might try
Billy Sims BBQ sauce
http://billysimsbbq.com/apparel-and-s...

[CDouglas]

You should add Dreamland BBQ sauce to your list. Thin but with an addictive peppery kick. Some say the secret ingredient is moonshine.

http://www.dreamlandbbq.com/

[schrutefarms]

There is only one kind I care to buy now....BBQ Sauce from Notley Que. I think you can get it online. Simply the best I have ever had.

[mcf]

I usually make my own because bottled stuff is too sweet for my tastes. Found one I like in the store for the first time recently, it's

http://jardinefoods.elsstore.com/view...

[ShakeIt]

yum I am obsessed with sweet baby rays! soooo gooood :)

[likembouncey]

Oh if you all wanna talk about some smack your granny good sauce then you all best try some Hot Sauce Williams BBQ sauce outta Cleveland Ohio...yep I said Cleveland.

[EWSflash]

Well, I like Bullseye. I'm not a BBQ snob or even a big aficionado, so if I'm looking for a quick fix I go with the Bullseye, any of several varieties.

There, I said it and I'm glad. Skewer me if you will

[bbqboy]

Flash, BBQ sauce is one of those things where even the worst is usually at least OK.
But the fascinating thing to me is the kaleidoscopic variety, encompassing everything
from mustard based to salsa based and beyond. Lots of regionalism and experimentation out there
and some are just ecstasy.
I just popped open a bottle of RedTail Ale Chipolte Sauce I've been hoarding.
Wonderful stuff.

http://www.mendobrew.com/brews/rt_fam...

[JanPrimus]

Although I make my own sauce anymore...one thing I like about Bullseye is that they do not use HFCS. I have tried to cut HFCS out of most of my diet and it is amazing how hard that is to do.

[dagwood]

My son is addicted to Bullseye, he dips everything in it. I was very pleased to find they don't have any HFCS, and will happily buy it for him. And, for a mass-produced BBQ sauce, it's actually quite good, and nice to have on hand for when I don't have the time or inclination to make my own.

[alkapal]

tell your son to try dipping baby carrots in some bullseye mixed with texas pete hot sauce. it's good!

[racer x]

I like Bullseye too, for putting on burgers or weiners or other sausages.
(And I couldn't give a hoot about the HFCS - its presence or absence doesn't phase me.)

I'm surprised that kb44 disliked it so much.
(I haven't cooked with it though.)

[Perilagu Khan]

I highly recommend Pappy's XXX White Lightnin sauce. It is murderously hot, but also addictively delicious.

Another excellent, although much milder sauce is Red Mud, which is made in Maclean, Texas. A fine all-around sauce.

[OldOllie]

I recommend Gold Star. It's a great KC-style sauce with 80-90% less sodium than the national brands, and it tastes BETTER!.

You can get it on Amazon.com; just search for Gold Star barbecue.

[Yo Yo Ma]

It depends on your budget. Great BBQ sauce tends to cost $4+ to $7 per bottle.
I've tried most on store shelf varieties and Curley's is my top favorite. Not many stores carry it, but they own the website bbqsauce.com and for good reason. I like the Hickory or Smokey ones only. I don't like heat in BBQ sauce, but instead put on Tabasco to my liking. Anyone who tastes Curley's says, "Wow" as soon as they try it. It's bold flavor, molasses, vinegary, but not overpowering. I have tried all the ones on store shelves, but haven't tried regional ones so I'll order online.
My tops are:
#1 - Curley's (some of the best BBQ sauces I've ever tried have very simple labels. bbqsauce.com)
#2 - Rufus Teague
#3 - Kinders or O.T.'s (I think O.T.'s is made by Kinders as taste, ingredient list and label remarkably similar, yet it costs less.)
#4 - Gates
#5 - Trader Joe's KC style (too bold so add honey and cider vinegar to cut it's saltiness).

Once you try really good bbq sauce you can no longer use mass-produced ones like KC Masterpiece, Bullseye, Cattlemens or Sweet Baby Rays (too much hifruc corn syrup).

Some of these taste good, but avoid:
- Bone Suckin', because you're paying $8 for bbq sauce diluted with lots of vinegar and water.
- Everett & Jones is runny too $6. Kinders taste very similar, but less $.
- Roadhouse is too much clove flavor and too chunky with raisin bits.
- Stubb's. Nice label, but flavor doesn't match what you think it'll taste like. Mediocre flavor for all.

Horrible BBQ sauces never try these:
- Budweiser
- All Kraft
- All Heinz
- Hunts
- Jack Daniel's or Jim Beam
- Chris and Pitt's (It's pretty much ketchup with mustard added to it)
- Tona Roma tastes like Catalina salad dressing more than BBQ sauce.
- Open Pit. Bleaugh, weird flavor of cloves
- bargain brands that are 99 cents.
- Avoid $7 and up sauces that have similar fancy packaging like Lea & Perrins or steakhouse names. These all have image, but taste Meh.
- Avoid sauces with raspberry, mango, rum, maple or chipotle. They always disappoint.
- Avoid all BBQ sauces sold at Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

On another note there's an incredible buffalo wing sauce called "Wing Time" $5 a bottle.
Mild is my fav. Medium is more like Hot. Never tried Hot as a result. Garlic one is good, but between mild and medium.

[David11238]

You should call Clyde Cooper's in Raleigh, NC and see if they'll deliver. It's a very delicious, not so sweet, vinegar sauce. I bought a total of a gallon to bring home when I was there. They put it in empty glass half-gallon and gallon liquor bottles.

Clyde Cooper's

GA pig in Brunswick GA has my fav to buy, just spicy enough. Show-Me from mid-west makes best BBQ beans

[StreetFed]

Here's a sauce that you don't want to miss! Smoke Daddy's original bbq sauce, WOW!! They finally have it available online! It tastes like it was just cooked this morning, it's pretty amazing!!

It is head and shoulders above the big box brands, and will give all of the top rated specialty small batch bbq sauces a run for their money!

http://www.thesmokedaddy.com/ourStory...

[davelindberg]

I agree that Brooks BBQ is VERY hard to beat - well at least for me. I grew up in Cooperstown NY (next door to Oneonta). Every other weekend we would drop by Brooks for dinner. YUMMY! I moved away, now I make my own at home with their bottled sauce (non-bbq but their "vinegar sauce").

[likembouncey]

no matter what sauce they use...if there isn't a pile of hard wood out back and a stack billowing pork scented smoke up top it's just a place baking up ribs pretending to be a rib joint...
