What's the BEST STOre BOUGHT BBQ Sauce?

[Jst1mr]

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....

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

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.

I keep going back to it.

I agree. Bull's Eye Carolina a mustard based sauce.

I like all the WKy bbq including the mutton but like the pork best, and serve mine the same way, sauce on the side. I don't get to that part of the state much, but my father in law does and brings us bbq from time to time. Also country ham sausage,mmmmm......

Country Side BBQ sauce made in Algona Iowa. An amazing restaurant called Vinnies in Dakota City Iowa has it sitting out on the tables... its fantastic.

Its lighter and a little sweet... in my opinion it goes well on just about anything that was breathing before being chopped up and put on my plate.

Thank you ALL for you input on this VERY IMPOTANT question. I will compile your advice and post a new thread in a day or tow with the results. However I can tell you now that Sweet Baby Rays is the hands down winner. But I can't wait to try "Bone Suckin'". How could you go wrong with a name like that.

Man, that's one thing they have across the river: SELECTION. Down here, we have two types of B.B.Q. Sauce. KRAFT Original.

The two choices are not-expired-yet, and past-expiration-but-still-on-the-shelf.

At least the weather's nice.

Walden Farms spicy when on a cut. Sweet Baby Ray's any other time.

On sale at Kroger 'ten for ten'. Gonna stock up (again).

There are many good ones, it's hard to recommend one.
I think it is important to look at the ingredients, and find sauces made with real sweeteners like molasses or brown sugar rather than the cheaper corn syrups. If they are willing to use better ingredients they will likely have a better chance of making a better tasting sauce.

For my money you can't beat Charley Biggs all natural sweet bourbon or Maine apple. But if the store is out of these than its Sweet Baby Rays hickory and brown sugar.
