best barbecue sauce- out of the bottle?

[althekillr]

now that i got a smoker, I'm looking for a good bottled barbecue sauce until im gonna invest my time in making my own. tks for any advice.

[Opusfxd]

IMHO, Sticky Fingers Carolina Mustard and Bone Suckin Sauce Original are the two that I've found that I love. When I bring pulled pork, I make everyone I can taste it with the Carolina Mustard and have converted everyone so far.

What kind of smoker??

[DocLogic77]

I personally like any of the Famous Daves.

[skullnrose]

I was recently introduced to homebbq.com sauces by smokingator these are some great premade BBQ sauces. Thanks again Bro.

[colimo]

famous daves is good, but i like KC Masterpiece original...

[Mikey202]

Sweet Baby Ray's is excellent, but one of the best is made by our very own Snkbyt a.k.a Alex. Maybe he'll start makin' some when he gets back stateside.:tu

You are welcome... and they are great sauces (and rubs too). Off the store shelf I think it is hard to beat Sweet Baby Ray's. I also like KC Masterpiece Carolina Gold for a mustard sauce.

Sweet Baby Rays is amazing, Ive only had the regular but where I work we just got in the honey chipotle and I think hot and spicy. I need to try the others...

[jledou]

I will put in another vote for the Sweet Baby Ray's I would also recommend the Cattleman's Original.

[RevSmoke]

I like to make my own, usually about a gallon's worth. When I don't have that, I find Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet & Spicy to be an excellent choice.

It has incredible flavor, and for about 1/2 the price of most of the "Premium" sauces out there.

[Emjaysmash]

+ 1 for Sweet Baby Rays. i could live off that stuff.

[BengalMan]

I'm a big fan of Montgomery Inn.

The Sweet & Spicy SBRs is killer... unfortunately my local store stopped carrying it:mad:

[Cigary]

Living in KC for 12 years introduced me to Gates and Sons BBQ sauce,,,,comes in Original, Sweet and Mild and Extra hot. Doesn't get any better than this.

[Partagaspete]

I am sitting here eating a morning star spicy black bean burger with sweet baby ray's and I do love this sauce. I have not seen the honey chipotle over here but I will look for it when I get stateside.

BTW +1 for Sweet baby rays.

[BrotherOfTheLeaf]

+1 for Gates. I would also add the two Cowtown BBQ Sauces from Oklahoma Joe's.

[Tripp]

I say Sauer's hard to find, but by far the best

[marge796]

Blues Hog great on everything.


Chris.....

[chippewastud79]

I do enjoy Sweet Baby Ray's. Montgomery Inn makes a great sauce if you can find it near you, a little runnier than most, but darn good on sandwiches.

Often when making pulled pork I make a sauce like concoction of the stuff left in the bottom of the pan after slow cooking overnight. Usually use cola, liquid smoke and a shot of whiskey to keep the pork moist while roasting. Start with whats left and add some ketchup, mustard and whatever else suits my fancy and reduce it down to a sauce and put it back on the pork once it is shredded/chopped :tu

[ucla695]

Another vote for Sweet Baby Ray's. :tu

[smokeyandthebandit05]

At the restaurant supply place I go to has Cattleman's in gallon jugs. They have 3 flavors, Gold, Classic, and original. Which flavor is the best?

[borndead1]

Stubbs and Sucklebusters

[akakirby]

I agree with this.

Maker's Mark Bourbon Flavored Gourmet Sauce (http://www.hotsauceworld.com/makmarbourfl.html)


Chicken, pork or beef - it's great on any of them!

[:eevis]

Gotta say that I am a big fan of Stubb's when i get a bottled sauce.

[SmokinApe]

Sweet Baby Ray... "Nuff said...

[mosesbotbol]

:tpd:

Great general use BBQ Sauce that is straightforward. Costco sells four packs.

As for something different, I love the Salt Licks sauces.

[mosesbotbol]

Cattlemans original all day long!

Good choice.

[sikk50]

Sweet Baby Ray's

All better

Another vote for Stubbs

[Steelergar]

carolina treat original barbecue sauce made in wilmington nc is an awesome mustard based sauce that is great on pork.

[Dunkel]

I used to really like Bullseye, but all of Sweet Baby Ray's sauces are very tasty. On a camping trip after too much liquor we got big laughs out of a friend saying "hey man hand me that bottle of Sweet Baby Gay's!" He looked at us as if we were insane then he slurred "Look I don't know WTF the stuff is called. What is it Sweet Gay Baby?" We cried laughing after that.

[TheBeard]

My favorite's always been Carolina Treet. It's a regional thing. It's one of the few mustard-based sauces I like, mostly because it's spicy and doesn't taste a lot like mustard.

[HawkEye19]

No votes for Rudy's "sause" Good stuff there.

I'm a big fan of all the Famous Dave's sauces, it's also one of my favorite places to eat.

I do have a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's, I'm waiting to try since I've heard so much.

[erratum]

Depends what I'm in the mood for, but my two favorites (and ratically different) are Arthur Bryant's (http://www.arthurbryantsbbq.com/ab/)& Flower of the Flames (http://store.clientrecovery.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FOTF&Product_Code=S-RASP&Category_Code=S5)

Our local supermarket had 18 oz bottles of SBR's on sale for 99 cents last week so I picked up 40 bottles of their Honey Chipotle. Way cheaper than buying them by the gallon. Good score.

[Bubba - NJ]

Sweet Baby Rays is my regular , I do add honey to it though . For some reason when I add the honey it really wakes up the sauce and makes it much more spicy . I buy the 2 big bottle pack at BJ's . I have never seen the Honey Chipotle version so I'll have to look for it . Bone Suckin sauce is real good as is Stubbs but Stubbs is like $7.99 a bottle here . SBR's is real cheap . Cattleman's is real good sauce also . And for our favorite different sauce , we love Big Bob Gibson's White BBQ sauce on chicken , totally unlike any sauce I've ever had and delicious . I used to buy a locally made sauce that was made in Cherry Hill , NJ by a police officer but just can't find it or remember what it was called . :dr

[avid toker]

Just as important as the sauce is the rub IMO. I tend to like my sauce on the sweet and spicy side.

For chicken I use Salt Lick's rub and sauce. Sometimes I sub in Bone Sucking Sauce (half regular and half hot).
For pulled pork I use Butt Rub and Sticky Fingers Carolina Mustard or Head Country's BBQ sauce.
For ribs, either Raichlen's Java or Kansas City dry rubs and Bone Sucking Sauce (thick) or Butch's Smack Your Lips BBQ Sauce.

In a pinch, I'll reach for KC Masterpiece or Sweet Baby Ray's....any tried the SBR Sweet Vidalia BBQ sauce yet?
This is starting to make me hungry...

[Ralphanator]

Out of the bottle I like Chris & Pitts Hickory! You can add some Fresh lemon Juice and Tabasco sauce to add some more flavor!

[BFallehy]

I will put in another vote for the Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce. I use the Hot and Spicy on both my pulled pork and my pork ribs when I do them in the slow cooker. Comes out great everytime. :banger

Right on the money there :) I am no fan of Sweet Baby Rays by no means. But I am from Texas and BBQ aint supposed to be Sweet. Sweet Baby Rays might be ok on Ice cream I guess :)

[DougBushBC]

Sweet Baby James for me.

Does James Taylor make BBQ Sauce in addition to sweet tender loving music?

I too am fond of the Sticky Fingers Sauces for out of the bottle stuff but I personally don't care for Mustard Based Sauces. The Habanero is my favorite but it has a little to much kick for many folks, it is pretty warm.

[Dead Eye]

Sweet Baby Ray's

[itsme_timd]

HaHa, this is a loaded question! Quite an individual thing. :D

I have to jump on the Sweet Baby Ray's bandwagon, that stuff is awesome.

The taste is killer and I love that it's extra thick and really sticks to whatever you put it on.

Their rub is awesome too.

We have some stuff here local in Kansas called Big Rick's and it's off the hook good. You can buy it on the internet too.

Stubbs is the best hands down.

Just got my bottle on Friday, I may have to change my answer. :D

[mosesbotbol]

Salt Lick's BBQ sauces are great for brisket.

[captain53]

Living in Austin and working 2 blocks from Stubbs for many years I am amazed at all the Stubbs votes as well as other Austin sauces (Rudys and Salt Lick - both very good). For those who like Really Hot Wings (seriously very very hot) try Stubbs Wing Sauce if you can get it. FYI - their bb'q is terrible! I did see Merle Haggard there live one time long ago: It stuck with me as "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink":tu

I would like to find a good North Carolina Vinegar Sauce in a bottle if someone knows of one, hard to beat on pork.

I lived off of Slaughter LN for 2 years. Stubbs BBQ was horrendous. Their sauce? I almost threw a riot when the local grocer stopped carrying it here.

Have you tried their marinades?

[s15driftking]

AUSTIN... AUSTIN!!! ...i cant really remember their sause.. But Rudy's Barbecue (restraunt) is amazing!!!

The only Stubb's I use is the wing sauce they call Original Wicked Chicken Wing Sauce, just wish they had a version not quite so hot, actually they do offer a hotter version though. I like hot but this stuff is over the top. Be glad to drop you off some sauce on one of my STL trips if you need it.:)

Yes, they probably have the worst bb'q in Central TX. The sauces are actually made by somebody for them.

[joeobx]

:2 Stubbs, Sticky Fingers, Bulls Eye ( on chicken). But with a smoker I like just a good rub and a good wood (Mesquite's my fav)
