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 been using this and we like it a lot.
 
+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.
