I like open pit also but I noticed something strange with it. I made some pork steaks one day and had some leftovers. the next day at work when I went to eat lunch the sauce had turned a redish orange. It tasted fine but looked very strange. Anyone ever notice this?

I agree to disagree. While I think it is important to be health concious and careful about what you consume, I don't rule out an ingredient/food that is considered "safe" by the FDA just because it has processed sugars. I get, HFCS is not natural. That's ok with me. I drink soda, I eat the fat on my ribeyes (all natural fat), and sometimes I use sauce with HFCS. When I make my own, which I usually do, I use honey and molasses.

My point: Moderation. I like SBR, so I eat it on occasion - regardless of sugar/sodium content. Why? Because I'm healthy. I workout regularly and my diet consists of good BBQ (which I think we can all agree is not always the healthiest food) as well as healthy foods. I am not at risk for obesity or diabetes because I enjoy a mix of healthy and unhealthy foods with an active lifestyle.

So, put me down for SBR as well.

I have not read through all of this thread so I may be repeating, but Stubb's Original or Spicy works for me.

I used to use SBR's, but the local Walmart started carrying Head Country and I've switched to that.

Another vote for SBR if I'm not making my own.

Typically I don't use it straight up, I'll adjust sweet or heat using tabasco or jalapeno jelly or habanero jelly.

Sweet baby rays, and fighting cock hot bbq sauce for me

The Fiance loves Jack Daniels but I have to add some serious spice for myself to like it as much as her.

Blending one chipotle with adobe into any sauce makes it better

Charlie Mills is my favorite Eastern NC sauce.

I too, like Butch's sauces... His daughter just won best ribs and best sauce, I suspect Butch is smiling down on her following in his foot steps.

I often wonder that same thing. To me, they taste like fast food bbq sauce packets.

Anyway, my current favorite is Tasty Lick's Secret Sauce. It's scary good stuff IMO.

That's normal, I notice it mostly on chicken breasts.
