My wife's friend from Maine sent us a big care package of some locally made syrups, sauces and stuff of that sort (like scone mix).

Anyway, among the stuff sent to us was a "Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce" from Stonewall Kitchens. I decided to try it on the bun with some coleslaw and hot sauce for my pulled pork sandwich and it was pretty damned good. Not sure how readily available this stuff is, but it is delicious. Might need to get a friend in Maine tho... lol

The wife and I tend not to use sauce all that often, but we like the Sticky Fingers Carolina and Memphis styles quite a bit. Also like a couple of the SBR flavors.

There is only 1 brand that I use on anything straight-up, and that's Blues Hog Tennessee Red, and that's only on pulled pork. Otherwise I'm not a fan of anything else straight up. I mix in Blues Hog Original in my other pork sauces and differently in my rib sauce, and I mix in Head Country Original in Brunswick Stew.

Guess I lied a little, because I put some Head's Red on my hamburger last night...

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?

Read the labels for sugar and sodium content. SBR is HFCS based, so I try to avoid, even though it tastes good.

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. :biggrin1:

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

 

[Bonewagon]

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

 

[Myrdhyn]

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.

I also get a gallon of sauce from Butch's Smack your lips BBQ every year at the NJ state BBQ championship. I think he charges me around $20 for the gallon bottle.

Me too! Ha ha ha....

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

 

[OregonBoy]

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

 

[texaque]

Blending one chipotle with adobe into any sauce makes it better

 

[AugustusRooster]

Charlie Mills is my favorite Eastern NC sauce.

 

[IamMadMan]

I get sweet baby rays with honey.

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.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Sweet Baby Rays or Stubbs is so popular with the Bretheren.

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.
Open pit is my goto. wife likes sweet baby rays and recently the gfs house brand, I forget which one
