favorite store bought BBQ sauce???

[Greaser]

We usually will make our own bbq sauce, but occasionally I like the taste of Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce.

What are some of yalls favorites?

[Thom Emery]

I use Cattlemans with TPJ mixed in for a lil kick

[Paul Taylor]

Me, I make the one from the recipe that ya get from the recipes that Bill sends you with some serious tweaking & still some more to go on.

Paul Taylor

[bigwheel]

Texas Rib Rangers Spicy..Headcountry Regular..and Bullseye Texas Mesquite Flavor.

Cattlemans ...doctored up!

[david brace]

I can't remember buying many. I was given some Jack Daniel's sauce that was fairly good. I tried Cattleman's and thought it was better than the JD...I must have tried othersthat I didn't know about,but anything homemade is better because t shows the cook is thinking and catering to his people and their taste.

DB

[TAR RIVER RAT]

KC Master Origional, Cattlemans, Sweet baby Rays, all doctored up with TPJ.
Bone Sucking Sauce is OK but a little thin. Most local vinegar sauces and more so the stuff I make for use on pulled pork.

[PhotoKirk]

Barbed Wire Barbecue is pretty good. My kids like Sweet Baby Ray's.

[Bad Santa]

Cattleman's for a base sometimes and Sweet Baby Ray's with TPJ. When I don't do my own sauce from scratch.

[JamesB]

Head Country, Sadler's or Bone Suckin Sauce...

James.

[Zeeman]

Original Cattlemans is bout the best off-shelf you can get. Must be thined a little and if you need to doctor it up it don't take much to do it.

[Woodman]

Before I got into BBQ, I used to like Bullseye and KC Masterpiece. Now I only make my own due to cost savings!

[Big Mike]

I will use Sweet Baby Rays Original to glaze my rib. Montgomery Inn is pretty good. I tried Cattlemans once and thought it was pretty bad, I think it was the regular version.

I have my own recipe for a mustard sauce and a tomato/vinegar sauce. I am trying to find a good recipe for a sweeter sauce as well as a sauce with a little kick.

[corndog]

In my neck of the woods, Scotts bbq sauce is great on chicken. Then I use John Boy Billy Grillin' sauce Hot version. I do use Jim Beam BBQ sauce sometimes to, but now I have to make my own most of the time.

[TexLaw]

Bone Suckin' Sauce and Reverend Marvin are my favorites.


TL

[gatorpit]

Cattleman's with doctored up sometimes and Stubb's spicy

[freefaller]

Big Ricks in any flavor, chipotle is the favorite. Needs to be thinned a little as well. Sweet Baby Rays is good as well.

I've ordered some Rev. Marvins.
I like Stubbs on beef and Loose Lip Larry's on pork:

Still trying to make my own. This weekend cooked up some of Mills' Apple City BBQ Sauce and didn't care for it much.

[Michiana Mark]

Bullseye Mesquite, Sweet Baby Rays, and the wife likes Maulls. For chopped brisket we use Bill's sauce, with a kick.

[kpigout]

Make my own, but when I go to Memphis every year, I always bring me back a supply of Dancing Pigs (The BBQ Shop), Interstate BBQ Sauce, Neelys, Corkys, Rendezvous, Germantown Commissary, and Gridleys. Almost all can be bought at local stores there, and several can be bought online.

[bigwheel]

Well I double vouch for that Scotts sauce. Used to have an old neighbor from Virginny who got care packages of that stuff delivered from kin in NC. He was always good to share. I like it on about anything. Absoloute killer to moisten up some pushed pork..and aint half bad for table use on brisket slices. Dont think I ever got around to trying it on chicken.

sweet baby rays

[bigwheel]

Dang I dont see how anybody can stomache Sweet Baby Rays. Thats the most horrible tasting stuff I ever ate. Guess the old adage be true..One mans meat is another mans pizzen..or something along those lines.

bigwheel

[TB]

Yep, folks are all over the map on sauces. Sweet Baby Rays and Bone Suckin Sauce are both way too sweet for me. At the other extreme are sauces like Rev Marvins that have no sugar at all - at all. :shock: And there was this sauce I had once at my wife's folks house in Alabama - it was vinegar with some cayenne in it. The instructions said: "the more you shake it, the hotter it gits." :shock: :shock:

Now thats funny. What happens when you get to the bottom of the bottle??? LOL

[TB]

Don't know. That's not the strangest thing I've seen in that lil town....
don't git me started.

Here's a recipe for an East North Carolina sauce that's basically 2 cups sweet vinegar and 1 tablespoon cayenne. The instructions suggest shaking it occassionally. http://barbeque.allrecipes.com/az/strnNrthCrlinBBQSc.asp

You should try some of the Memphis sauces I mentioned. Not too sweet, and not too vinegary,,,but definitely a little of both...a nice balance. You can also order most either regular or hot.

[TB]

Yeah, kpigout, I plan on it. I've look up links for your suggestions before (bookmarked Neely's) and looked at some recipes today, even.

Head Country has a nice hickory base / Bronco Bob's Raspberry chipotle /

Red Mud - a local but growing brand

[Tailwagger]

Head Country, and (ya'll don't kick me out of here for this, but...) Famous Dave's Devil Spit :oops: . Havent used near as much since last several months have been working on my own sauce :lol: .

BTW TB what part of Bama are the inlaws :?:

[vinman]

Depends on just what I'm putting it on but the Jack Daniels line of sauces are pretty tasty.
We have a restaurant up this way called The Winking Lizard and their sauces are pretty good too.
Now don't even get me into the debate about putting sause on Brisket but I always likes me some Rudy's. :shock:

[WBC]

I like to use a 50/50 mix of worcheshire and HEB Texas Gold Mesquite.

[swamp smoker]

Head country hickory and regular also uncle johns old south out of tampa.
A good yellow vinager sauce would be kings taste bbq .Winn Dixe usaully carries that one.

I bring Scott's back from NC--great on pinto's also. Used to bring Well's back too but haven't seen it last few times down. Do you see it in stores where you are?

[BBQ101]

:lol: What nobody like's Open Pit on Chicken Oh Well. I do like some of Tony Roma's sauces. I have used Kraft for catering jobs for years I just tweak the hell out of it. Bone sucking sauce is not bad stuff.

...Head Country, or Bone Suckin Sauce...

Sounds like the 70s to me

[JimBobTex]

Luling City Market . The way sauce used to be before the sweet Kansas city varieties became so dominate. Mustard Vinegar deep south sauce. Stuff is addicting

[smokin Jim]

Hey 1044 - I was just funnin ya know. If it says "Kraft" on it I won't buy it. Actually I use Cattleman's when I need a bunch for a cater, but most of the time I make a scratch sauce with a ketchup base.

[Thom Emery]

Man we need you fellers in the Second Quarter Sause exchange

[bigwheel]

Good Lawdy Miz Claudy..I would not want to pick up the tab on your wooster sauce account if you serve much of this combo. That stuff purty expensive last I checked. Speaking Lea n Perrins of course. That the only kind me and Justeen would ever think about using ya know? Whut brand do you use? How much do it cost? ect etc. Sure be glad when them HEB's migrate up to N. Texas. Kept hoping they would buy out Albertsons but I lost track of all that wrangling. Seems like somebody bought em but I forget who and dont think it was HEB. Super Target was supposed to be lusting after them purty heavy. Sure hope that deal fell through. Do you the goods up for sale in those stores are based on the typical buying habits of folks from Salt Lake City Utah? That is why they aint never got nothing I need. One out close to me dont even carry pinto beans. I could live inside one and starve to death. Now they do go heavy on green jello and Kraft Mac n Cheese. That is whut them Mormons eat for every meal as far as I can tell. They wash it all down with a Pepsi.

Kraft Eye-tallion's a pretty good quick marinade for chicken on the grill.

[david brace]

Somebody posted about Jim Beam's...I remember getting on a kick with that for a while. I used it on everything for a while...steak, rice, potatoes, toast, peas, broccoli...well, I DID say everything...(except Brussel Sprouts -YUCK)

Just picked up some KC Masterpiece Classic, not as sweet as the original and it is excellent. Head Country, SBR, Ole Rays.

Droller, I'm not familar w/ Wells. I don't pay that much attention to the sauce isle. I know what I want and haven't varied too much from that since I started making my own. Plus, I started making my own hotwing sauce also. Everything seems better when it comes off of my stove or grill...hai'nt figgur'd it out yet as to why??? :lol:

Not far at all, maybe on one of yer trips we can meet up at a good Q place :D

[TB]

That I would love to do, but the inlaws are gone as are most ties to that neck of the woods. There are some famous Q joints where you are. I'd like to do Bob Gibson's in Decatur. Pro'ly others as well.

[Tailwagger]

Sorry 'bout that TB. Yep there is some goodun's round here, they is also some notsogoodun's 2 :wink:

Well anyhoo, I'd love to Que up with you if'n I do git over that way. Holler if you get close to Newnan, and we'll eat some so-so Que here in town (all they got).

I'm with Zee. Original Cattlemans, NOT the Smokey. That is what I use for the base of my own sauce, also.

[david brace]

Than Dinosaur BBQ sauce from Syracuse U. fame is pretty good. We did try it a while back for some steaks on the grill. I think there's a garlic one that I liked more than the others.

[AZSmoker]

For a local (Phoenix-area) option, I often use Honey Bear's:
http://www.honeybearsbbq.com/about/index.html

Just found that Costco is carrying a 3-pack of Famous Dave's sauce; seemed pretty good when I tried it.

But I mostly smoke ribs, and IMHO, if done correctly, ribs don't need no sauce!

Normally I buy whatever is on sale as I doctor it up anyway. Never have 2 sauces exactly the same. I like that.

My Sam's is only carrying the smokey. I bought some once, then volunteered to bring bbq sauce to a company lunch. That's how I got rid of mine.

DB- not to change the post but...SU is my alma mater!So did you ever try the Dinosaur sauce??? When were you in school there? I looked at my Birthday list for a clue, but-ahem-you are NOT listed there. My wife brought some sauce home once while there once and we tried it. Prety good.
