What's the BEST STOre BOUGHT BBQ Sauce?

[Alnamvet68]

First off, I'm not big on any meat or poultry that I BBQ being "wet" with a taste altering sauce applied during and after cooking said meats. That said, I have used Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold sauce strictly for marinating my meats. It's mustard based with cayenne peppers and apple cider vinegar. I usually pour a half cup of the Cattlemen's, add a quarter cup of fresh lemon/lime juice, and a tbsp. of wasabi paste, blend well, and pour over the meat, and let it marinate for atleast 24 hours.

Sweet Baby Ray's vote here as well, Valida Onion. Any of Sweet Baby Ray's brand is excellent.

SBR Original. For a change try Cattleman's Gold on a smoked Boston Butt. Ain't half bad.

Stubb's is what I used on my sandwich yesterday. I'm not into sweet sauces either. Cattleman's is a decent sauce and can be bought in big jugs at Sam's Club if you need a lot.

I don't see it in stores and haven't for years, but Woody's Cook-In Sauce is hands down the best I ever tried on beef, pork, lamb, poultry or fish. It's a savory sauce with very little sweetness. It can be ordered online, and I just may have to do that when I replace the grill that was stolen.

I also like to take Kroger's very inexpensive house-brand Thick & Spicy and doctor it with dry red wine, Worcestershire sauce (ONLY Lea & Perrins), a little dark soy sauce, garlic and onion powders, home-grown thyme and oregano, and additional heat.

Not as good as Woody's, but tasty as a last-minute baste of grilled meats. I also use it for stove-top "barbecue". I rub a Boston butt roast with a mix of smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and ancho powder, triple-seal it in heavy foil, and put it in the oven at 225º F, for five hours. The fat and connective tissue melt into the meat and leave it succulent and very tender. Then any that I don't just eat as is I break down and simmer in the sauce.

Obviously it ain't real 'cue, but it's not half bad.

I like Sweet Baby Ray's on chicken and pork and Stubbs on beef. I don't care for the sweet stuff on brisket.

We have a local meat market named Kinder's Meats. They have a great BBq sauce.

After that, Sweet Baby Ray's.

Another vote for Famous Dave's Devil's Spit. Good tomatoe base with nice spices and a pronounced but not unpleasant bite. I'm not much on the molasses-like Kansas City style, or the mustard-vinegar based sauces. Course it may help that the original Famous Dave's joint is just a couple miles away....

 

[Quick10]

I've tried 'em all. I used to make homemade barbecue sauce until I tried this stuff....Bone Suckin' Sauce. Now, that's about all I use.

I like Sweet Baby Ray's but if I can get some Bone Suckin' Sauce then woooooooweeeeee mmmmmhmmmm

My favorite by a long shot is Chris' & Pitt's original.

I like Stubb's a lot. Also like Moonlite, from the restaurant in Owensboro Ky if you can find it. Sold regionally I believe. For those who don't know in that part of Kentucky the signature meat for bbq is mutton. It's dang good. It's more on the sweeter/thicker side, but still not too sweet.

I know it's a bit commercial but for a dry rub I like the rub from Rendezvous in Memphis.

The store in my area are not very imaginative when it comes to carrying more thana few brands but-of those we do have--I like Stubbs as well as Jack Daniels (which makes only 2-3 kinds--or that im aware of?) as well as Lowrys. Lowrys makes a great Chicken Teriyaki Marinade.

For those who don't know in that part of Kentucky the signature meat for bbq is mutton.

Western Kentucky style pit-barbecued mutton is a wondrous thing, but they also do great beef, pork and chicken in that part of the state. It's never sauced while on the pit--sauce is served on the side, but is purely optional in my opinion.

I like bull's eye

 

[usm1rifle]

Famous Dave's Sweet & Sassy over a dry rub of cracked black pepper, garlic granules and a heavy dusting of powdered chipotle.

For store bought, Sweet baby Rays (any version) is pretty hard to beat.
