What's your favorite off-the-shelf/store-bought barbecue sauce?

... mix of one part KC Masterpiece and one part famous Dave’s devils spitfire

I used to use Famous Dave's Devil Spit. Loved the flavor.
Cannot take the sugars. Not diabetic, but post Covid. Don't like sucrose or high fructose based sweeteners

After reading a few pages I see I need to up my sauce game! So many sauces and so little time.

Most recent new sauce for me was Blues Hog Competition blend & has to be the prettiest sauce I've ever used. It's has a really good flavor but It makes everything I put it on look amazing. I can see why it's would be used for competitions.

on to the next sauce ...

So many sauces... Can't say I have a favorite, but I've eaten some that are steadies in my rotation...
Kosmos Q Cherry Habanero, I like the Blues Hog Smokey Mountain, and a friend of mine just turned me on to Joe's KC which to me has a great flavor.

I use jirbys sauce and tweak. It’s very good. Goldees was voted number 1 in Texas Monthly FYI.

Sweet Baby Rays no sugar is what I prefer, but I rarely use any sauce these days

I been using this and we like it a lot.

I've been using Kinder's Hickory Brown Sugar for the majority of the summer, really good! Just pulled this bottle out of the cabinet and got more being delivered today.

I made it to Super Walmart tonight and they had about ten varieties. I will start with these three and see how I like them.

Looks like a great start Chris, I am looking forward to your thoughts on the Fajita sauce, I didn't know about that one.

+1 for Kinders. I’ll make my own on occasion.
When getting store bought, I reject any thing that has high fructose corn syrup. My home made uses Simply Heinz ketchup (no HFCS).

Just an update on the Black Cherry Chipotle since it the only one I have tried so far.

F*King Awesome. It is so dang good I can't get enough of it.

I smoked a Picanha a few days ago and since then I have been chopping up pieces of it and adding it to other meals but before that I add a bit of the sauce and mix it around.

It perfectly flavors up the reheated meat like no other.

If the rest of Kinders lineup is as good I will be a fan for life.

Head Country - goes with about everything
Swamp Boys Original - great with pork
Killer Hogs - love on ribs
Lillie's Q Smoky - great with everything

All of these are in my fridge and on my shelf.

I've tasted at least 70 sauces over the years, but this is only a fraction of what is available on the market. I'm sure there are many more sauces out there that would WOW me.

What's your favorite?

Stubbs original

We dont have much selection here in Canuckistan. The usual staples were Bullseye, Sweet Baby Ray's and Kraft(yuck).
Now are are starting to get some variety like Stubbs although I havent actually tried their bbq sauces yet. Kinder dipping sauces can be found at Costco but I havent actually seen a bbq sauce yet. Presidents Choice from Superstore has a decent selection, I do like their Maple Bacon on pork.
There was a guy selling his " Sh*T Sauce" at the local Farmer's Markets before Covid but he unfortunately passed away. He would bbq a pork loin at his stall and give away samples. He usually sold out within an hour. I would kill to get his recipe.

Can you shop online at the US BBQ shops? Or is shipping not cost affective?

If a GM to my head to buy off shelf, then BullsEye not terrible. Or I get it from City BBQ.

If you haven’t already, save a life, subscribe to Jeff, and make his BBQ sauce. I tweak his a little, and it is far and away my favorite.

Jeffs is very good. worth buying the recipe for sure!

Might as well add $30 to the cost of an order. I would have to order a lot to make it worth while.


I do have Jeff's recipe and its ok.

Be great if he'd add the Golden Driller Sauce to the recipes. I prefer Carolina mustard based sauces to tomato based sauces.

Franklin Spicy, with Franklin Vinegar as a runner up.
