What brand of BBQ sauce?

[Glengoyne]

With this being the mother of all BBQ weekends, I guess this thread is a bit late. Too bad I didn't think of this a week ago. Precisely because I found the frozen pizza thread to be so helpful, I'm coming here to see what the FOFC pulls out of the pantry when there is a need for bbq sauce. I'm sad to say that I don't really have an opinion on this, as I have yet to find one that I really like.

So what say you FOFC? ... Barbecue Sauce edition?

The ones in most grocery stores are terrible. I get mine from a local joint called Sam's BBQ that's really tasty. But, yeah, I've never found a bbq sauce in a grocery store that was any good. I'd be interested to hear about this as well.

I like Stubb's BBQ sauce. That's not bad. And the sauce that Dreamland BBQ makes (and I think you can only buy them at the restaurants or online) is pretty nice.

Rudy's. Best BBQ I've ever eaten. Always have the sauce in the house, too. Though I'll have to order it from now that I'm not living in San Antonio.

I like Montgomery Inn's BBQ sauce if I am going to buy from the store.

I don't mind a store BBQ sauce IF one of its main ingredients isn't High Fructose Corn Syrup. This is really a taste thing, I find that almost any BBQ sauce bought at the store without high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient tastes better than any sauce that does use it.

Casting another vote for Sweet Baby Ray's.

Cattlemen's

For a special cookout weekend, I would suggest attempting to make your own sauce. There are a ton of recipes floating around online. Something with some mollasses or honey, along with some fresh Jalepenos and other shit and you can't go wrong.

in Bottled, I like this stuff we have at work, I think it's the Sweet Baby Ray's. The label does appear to to be the same. That shit is bangin' for bottled.

Another vote for Sweet Baby Ray's. I also like Jack Daniels' line of BBQ sauces.

Ditto this entirely. If I can't find SBR/don't have any on-hand, most stores have the JD which isn't bad.

If you want to try one that's not tomato based, check to see if a local store carries any of the sauces from The Salt Lick. They recently started bottling their sauces and are selling them nationwide. If you can't find it in a store, they do sell it through their website, but it is a bit pricey.

Oh yeah, good stuff man, we bought some the other day.

Arthur Bryant (often called "The President's Sauce" due to the large number of U.S. Presidents that have stopped in to eat it)

Gates is a sweeter, rich sauce. Great for ribs and brisket.

Fiorella's Jackstack BBQ sause is another rich tomato-based sauce. Love it with burnt ends.

Cattlemen's is my favorite, but if you want to make your burgers or steaks or whatever taste really good, grill them with some Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning.

Sounds like a lot of work. Does it really count as good BBQ sauce if you have to do that much to make it good?

Duh.. passed down from my dad. I make big batches and bottle it.

Watch the bbq cookoffs on the Food network and tell me if they use store bought sauce straight from the bottle.

I guess I thought the original thread was looking for quick and easy. After having my first kid recently, I know I have no time to make anything other than bottled BBQ and spaghetti sauce from a jar.

Well, Maulls on its own is quite good without all the stuff I add.

I agree. I wouldn't put it tops on my list, but I've used it on pork before and it's worked out pretty well.
