Favorite BBQ sauces

Mark, you might be able to find some online, as opposed to store bought.
Here's a place I buy my rubs from (this is the sauce page); https://www.bigpoppasmokers.com/store/bbq-sauce

Bone Sucking is a nice sauce. However my favorite at this time is Blues Hog original. It has a tangy then sweet profile like I have never had before. It also has a nice spice to it. If you need a bit more spice just mix in some of Blues Hog Tennessee Red into the original. This is the real deal!!

Hey whats up with the Corporate Food? How about supporting the little guy that brings pride to our communities?

Gots to give a shout to the local favorite here in North Georgia:

Strickland's Gourmet Bar-B-Q-Sauce

I would put it in the Tangy Vinegar camp.

As I get older, piling on BBQ with white bread and french fires is just not a good idea anymore. So, we have been pairing our BBQ with a variety of Pickles, Cold Slaw, Vegetable Kabobs, Black Bean Salads. Nothing better than pickled vegetables and BBQ. Here's another shout out to a small batch local company that goes great with BBQ: http://phickles.com/

All this BBQ talk has me thinking about football season that's just around the corner.

Cool breezes, cool beer and watching football on the deck.

And starting that grill nice and early while everyone in the house is still in bead.

These aren't sauces, they're rubs. But I didn't think they're worthy of their own thread.
Thought you'd enjoy.

Head Country.
I use to have to order it but I have been seeing it now and then at Walsmarts.
Just don't start doing shots of the stuff.

Mass market fave is the original Sweet Baby Ray's but my all time fave is my home brewed sauce. Sorry, I can't give you the formula or I'd have to kill you.

Jack Miller's BBQ Sauce is the goto sauce in south Louisiana. I mix it 50 50 with Sweet Baby Ray's. This is a terrific sauce.

Sweet Baby Ray's is tasty but its #1 ingredient is high fructose corn syrup so I defer to sauces sweetened with sugar, honey, molasses, etc.

I use several home made sauces but my home made rub has now been replaced by the Slap Yo' Daddy rub, as above and as per a recommendation from Bob from an earlier thread ( thanks Bob!).

Here's some useful life advice from SYD creator Harry Soo, a lovely, enlightened soul:
"My best advice is to live, love, laugh, and give. I lost my wife to cancer in 1994 and I raised my daughter 3 and son 5 by myself. Always be grateful because when you're grateful, you can be thankful. When you're thankful, you can be happy. It's as simple as that. Don't dwell on the would have's, could have's, and should have's. Hug your wife, kids, and loved ones and be at peace."

Here's to Harry, SYD and love, peace and bbq.

Cheerio,
KP

It might have been mentioned already, but I found Stubbs Sticky Sweet sauce is my favorite. And NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!!

I'm no fan of high fructose corn syrup (it's used because it's cheap), but it's not much worse than what you listed. For instance, sugar is 50% fructose (and 50% glucose), while HF corn syrup is slightly higher than 50% fructose (and less than 50% glucose). Honey is basically sugar broken into its constituent parts. Molasses is not much different.

Ever try RedRum BBQ Sauce?

Time to give this thread a kick...
Stubb's 'Sticky Sweet' and Super Smoker's 'St. Louis Style' are my go-tos lately.

Still loving the Stubb's spicy. Available at a local butcher I go to sometimes as an alternative to my local grocer (which carries Black Angus beef).

It doesn't taste the same as sugar or honey and leaves an after taste.

Trader Joe's Organic Sriracha and Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce

I don't ever recall in the past standing in front of the refrigerator contemplating what I might have for a snack and in the meantime grabbing a spoon and eating a half teaspoon of the sauce. Half a dozen times. It's that good!

Another Salt Lick fan here! I like the Original but the Spicy is great too.
