There as many types of sauce as one can imagine. I used to LOVE KC masterpiece when it was made in a barn outside of KC and not by the Clorox company--came in a GLASS gallon jug. Still like it for a "off the shelf", but I love sampling different sauces. Sweet baby Ray's is another good "off the shelf". I make, and try a new homemade sauce whenever I can in search of "The Perfect Sauce". I know there is no one perfect, but it is fun to search for. For example, I love the Vaunted Vinegar sauce from Smoke and Spice for pulled pork, but wouldn't have it on brisket.
Anyone else care to share their favorite "off the shelf" or homemade sauce recipe? :)

Off the shelf, I got a few.
Just like you, some stuff only on some stuff.
Still love Dreamland, and the sweet Blues Hog goes good on butts and ribs.
Ckk, you try Dreamland yet? Its worth a test. Great dipping sauce.
Others I like are Famous Daves Zesty, and the Jack Daniels (of course) ain't bad.
Just got that new local bottle of "Noodies" from MikeG to try.
I don't care for mustardy based sauces, or to vinegary ones though.
SBR's is great, as mentioned. Great packaging. That built in squeeze hole makes for perfect grill application on the meat.
Greg makes a pretty fine sauce too.

My favorite type of sauce is a sweet tomato based sauce with a little kick of black pepper and other spices. I like a vinegar sauce on my pulled pork and mustard sauces are good for pork loin or to spread on any cold meat and cheese sandwich.
Can't give out my favorite sauce recipies as I am in the proces of having them commercial produced, just waiting on the printed labels.
If I had to pick one sauce besides my own it would be a sweet sauce called Big Johns Ole' West sauce, tomato based with big flakes of black pepper. Guy who makes it lives 20 miles from me.

There is a semi-famous Kentucky barbeque joint in Paducah called "Starnes", and they have an awesome sauce for splashing on pork barbeque. It's too hot for a lot of people, so I never mix in the que, I just splash it all over what I am going to eat.
My wife's Grandad lives near there, so every time she goes to visit him I have her pick up a few bottles. She's getting ready to go there in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to have her grab a bunch of bottles and I'll ship some out to yall so you can see for yourself. It's some good sheet.

My absolute favorite for ribs is KC Masterpiece Spicy Original. Don't care much for the original but is OL's favorite so always have both on hand.
For brisket I like Hunts Hickory and Brown Sugar with just a bit of added cayenne and or black pepper. One of the local joints called Snead's had had the same "hot" BBQ sauce for most all my life, its very much like midnight describes with big flecks of black pepper.
For pulled pork the "pulled pork sauce" from recipes section was real good. Never tried anything with that much vinegar before. Went with the pork perfectly.
Made a quart of "East Texas Hickory Sauce" from recipes yesterday. Didn't like how it turned out so I worked on it and ended up with something ok, gonna try it on some brisket here shortly. Haven't acquired a taste for anything very ecclectic yet but don't have problems finding what I like either.

favorite sauce on Q? no sauce... no sauce on brisket, chicken, or ribs (if they have a good dry rub on them)... although if I have to have... I love blues hog, and dreamland, also like bone suckin' sauce... but given the choice, rather have it dry... pulled pork is good with franks and vinegar concoction, maybe some tomoatoes...

I'm with Josh I like my que the way it is. If it has a good rub and has been smoked with some good wood there is no need to cover it up with a sauce that covers the flavor of the meat. Great que shouldn't need sauce. My $.02 worth.

The final goal in any cooking is to have food that is "layered" with flavor, and in my opinion, that's where a little finishing sauce comes into play.
While I LOVE ribs that are dry, I think the flavor is a little more complex with a slightly sweet finishing sauce. I'm not talking about slathering on pounds of bottled sauce, but a nice glaze of home made finishing sauce.
Now you get a combination of the natural smoke flavor, the "bite" of a dry rub, and the natural sweetness of a glaze.
Like I said, I still love em dry, but I think the overall flavor is improved with a touch of finishing sauce.

Some like their coffee black, some with cream and sugar, some like a little coffee to go with their cream and sugar. Sauce adds an element to barbecue that is just as much a part of the Q tradition as the meat. I feel the meat should be so flavorful that it doesn't need sauce (but I use a lot of brining and spices), still, I have been in Q joints that everyone said was awesome but were in fact covering average meat with some REALLY good sauce. And it works...most cant tell the difference. I can, and I still like good sauce.
No harm in trying to do both...outstanding meat AND outstanding sauce. Hence my personal challenge. After working hard to be proud of the meat I cook, I want my sauce to be something I'm proud of too, cause It kinda hurts when before people even taste it, they bury it in OT Shelf BBQ sauce. So, whether they are tasting the meat or the sauce first, I want them to be tasting my BBQ. :wink:

When discussing brisket I line up with the no sauce faction. If you NEED sauce then something is wrong with the meat. Nearly lost my mind the time I did Q for the better half's father and she informed me that people would be using sauce and I'd have to deal with it. In some cases people just add sauce like they do salt and pepper, without tasting anything! If you just want sauce, then whatever floats your boat. I don't take it personally anymore. I just drink another beer or six. Life can be tough sometimes......
I, too, prefer my ribs and brisket "dry" - however, a little sauce on the side is nice. I like a finishing, vinegar type, sauce on my pulled pork. I love Blues Hog but use it as a dipping sauce rather than a slathered on finish -- it's got enough sugar that it should make a nice glaze.
The spouse prefers her ribs wet -- so I oblige by dry rubbing, cooking in the smoker about 3-2 and then finishing on a "cool" grill with her favorite sweet sauce. Compromise!!

03-23-2004, 02:39 PM
I know a lot of people like sauces but to me sauce is only good when the BBQ is a little dry, or the left overs are a little too left-over, or you forgot the rub. However I am not a no-sauce snob and usually serve BBQ with KC-Masterpiece on the side. I will even use a little of it from time to time. If anything I like a little kick on my 'Q with Franks or one of the other fine hot sauces available at the store.
When the bbq at home is fresh of a pit--usually no sauce is added---leftovers need a little juice I think.
Comp is another story for sure--chicken usually is in Head country, brisket is Iron Works(mix of hot and regular), ribs are in some doctored(and strained) blues hog---pork will probaly get the same---my contest pork seems to often SUCK(acording to those that score anyway<LOL>

I was looking at the Blue's Hog web site trying to figure out where to get some of his sauce. One of the location's he mentioned was:
Figuero's (cool sauce store) Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri
This is an AWESOME sauce shop. They have all of the hottest sauces in the world. They have a wall of probably 1,000 different sauces. If you purchase the top 5 hottest sauces, you actually have to sign a disclaimer.
I think I'll stop by there to get some Blue's Hog and take a picture or 2 and post under a new topic in Q-talk so we don't get off topic here....

I am genuinely surprised at the number of meat purists! Not a bad thing at all. But BBQ sauce is as old as BBQ. I like to make the meat so flavorful that it doesn't need sauce. BUT, I also seek to make a sauce so delicious that it begs for some Barbecue. Just want to add another dimension to the cooking, and of course not have to see the meat wasted under a mountain of ketchup before someone tastes it!
Anyone else care to throw down on their preferences?

If you're talking about my cayenne peppers yes I do use them. Of all the hot peppers I've tried to grow they are the most prolific with reguard to the weather of a particular season. The other reason I grow them is flavor. If I just want to burn my mouth I'll gargle with some drano, its not all about the heat for me a high scovill # doesn't necessarily equate to good taste. A milder pepper that you have to use a bit more of works better for me than something that is just senselessly hot. If suckin' on a hab floats your boat blister up and have a ball, I personally like to taste whats under the heat not eliminate my ability to taste anything else.

Back to the archives for me, and I spent all afternoon searching the web for a hab & rice casserole recipe. Sorry Brian, guess you weren't ragging my produce after all. Point being heat is just another level in the layers of flavor we try to build in good cooking, quite often it ends up being overpowering in some dishes. Truthfully I'm kinda a puss when it comes to heat, for example as a table condiment I vastly prefer Franks or Crystal or better yet green tobasco to the traditional tobasco. If you want to spice up a bloody traditional tobasco is the stuff, on my fries I want something a little milder so I can use more of it and get more vinegar zing to go with the heat. Not everyones tastes are the same, thankfully or I might be stuck eating the bland crap my OL likes all the time. Again Brian sorry for the confusion I'll have to go to my corner and study more.

I must have 6-8 bottles of sauce in the fridge at all times: Sonny's, Blues Hog, Dreamland, Parrothead, and at least three or four others - drives my wife crazy! That's not counting the 4-5 jars of different pepper jelly - some mine, some purchased!
2 of the 4 sauce shelfs in the fridge are mine too :)
"Don't touch my sauce" is heard alot by my kids.

Bill/Dave,
If Dreamland and Blues Hog are like Dave says, sounds like I need to keep both on hand.
Mike
Done.
Pick yourself up Blues Hog this weekend. Your Dreamland will be there by next Friday I hope.
Then do a test next weekend. Dreamland works best (IMO) as a dipping sauce. Extremely runny. You'll waste it pouring on ribs. Blues Hog, really thick, slather it on there.
I dish out both sparingly with a tablespoon.
On pulled pork, I will add a half bottle of cheap stuff, then a tablespoon or two of Hog. Makes it taste like Hog was used for it all.
Please post your results of the test!!!
I got the order # and crap if it don't get there, so let me know.

Sounds like a plan. I just happened to have just replenshed my Blues Hog from Hawkeyes, http://www.hawgeyesbbq.com/. I will have to push off the test for a week or so. I'm attending Dr. BBQ's competition BBQ school on April 2-3. Anybody else going to Dr. BBQ's class?

Yup, I'm a John Henry's "Honey BBQ" Sauce fanatic.
As for sauce or not, I like grilled steak without sauce, but my taste buds expect sauce along with BBQ.

It came from Fredricksburg Texas. Central Market recently picked them up. I have two will one bottle left of the Purgatory. Used it on Pulled pork not bad at all heat wise but has a slight kick. Only diffrence is I had to pay for mine ~ $5 each I think. That is when I got the Chipotle. Anyway I like all of it. Try it you will not be disappointed.

Just this morning on Good Morning America, there was some guy making his own bbq sauce. I'm hoping they post the recipe on their website. It had 2 cups of black coffee, and I can only guess at the other amounts, but here goes:
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 cup catsup, 3 or 4 tablespoons chipotle sauce, I can't remember the other stuff.
I like a good cup of coffee... anyone else usinig it in a sauce?

Have you guy's heard of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce? I tried it over the holiday weekend, and thought it was a really good sauce.

At the risk of starting something, I had some over the weekend as well and I thought it was okay. I have had worse.

That is my goto sauce when I don't have any left of my own. Good stuff and cheap as can be. Just filled the pantry with a .99 per bottle sale.
