Here's something I'm sure we can all disagree on.  I tend to lean toward the tomatoey sauces with a good gawp of molasses in them, and don't care as much for the vinegar and mustard sauces found toward the Carolinas. Do you have a favorite recipe or brand of bottled you prefer? Honestly,I think good Q doesn't really need a sauce, but it is nice to some on hand.

Well I've got baby backs (in Meathead's Memphis Rub) soaking on the Weber and beans and bacon soaking in the oven, but took a shortcut and bought a bottle of Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse sauce, just to have something in case I felt I needed it. Probably need to do some serious experimenting and make my own. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

The N.Carolina sauce is nothing more than apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper, black pepper and salt. The flavor comes from the hickory wood it is cooked over. An elegant and simple sauce. The S. Carolina mustard sauce is a relic of the German immigrant heritage. Mustard, sugar, molasses, salt, pepper, plus secret spices. Germans love their mustard on pork. I do too! In NE SC they use a variant of the NC sauce with a thin tomato base. My all-time favorite is Kraft Classic BBQ sauce with extra vinegar and black pepper added. IMHO it is too thick from the bottle. Thinning it with vinegar allows it to be basted on the meat rather than glopped on. | |||

My wife makes a great BBQ sauce from scratch, but it's a lot of trouble, and when we are having a dozen people over, which is often, she and I have our hands full on more important tasks. I lean on Sweet Baby Ray's sauces......and here's the thing, most people I know don't use BBQ sauce on smoked meat anyway. | |||

Most bbq sauces are too thick. PITA to pour them, you end up getting globs. IMHO, the upside-down ketchup bottle was pure genius. More should adopt it for bbq sauces. | |||

GAWP!! Yep, we can certainly disagree on this one. I prefer an acidic taste (vinegar) and think the standard sweet tomatoe sauces should be delivered in a baby bottle with nipple to suit the age of the tastes of those who use it. Note: I have nothing against nipples thereby. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I was in Mooresville, NC one time and stumbled on a mom and pop BBQ resturant called Firebones. Their meat came out of the smoker, a quick stop on the flatop grill, then to your table. BBQ sauce was served on the side. They had six bottles of different styles and tastes of sauce in a wooden six pack carrier. The sauces were outstanding, sweet, hot, mustard, vinegar etc. It was one of the best BBQ places I've ever eaten at. | |||

Sweet Baby Ray's with onion thinned out a bit with home made chicken stock and a few shakes of Valentino hot sauce. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

Bill, I bet you would really like "Head Country" Barbecue sauce then. It is one of my very favorite commercial table sauces. I just hate the fact that it's made in OK.....  It's available in stores here but just in case...since you live in a foreign country... https://www.amazon.com/head-co...ountry%20bbq%20sauce . | |||

I generally don’t put BBQ sauce on anything smoked but also offer Sweet Baby Rays on the table. Some folks use it, some don’t Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

Used to make it from scratch, but a good shortcut is to take Mr. Stubbs commercial sauce and then thin it with the vinegar from a can of pickled jalapenos. I usually add a little powdered mustard as well. | |||

One of my clients' families makes Rufus Teague BBQ sauce. They mentioned it to me making small talk on a phone call one time. I picked up a bottle of the whiskey maple flavor, and it's absolutely delicious. I recommend! They're from the KC area, so it has that sweeter, smoky flavor to it. _____________________________________________________ No safe queens! | |||

I got hooked on Goode Company sauce (Houston Texas). It's tomato based but has a nice sweetness with a background heat that doesn't make me reach for a drink after each bite. I buy it by the gallon and smuggle it into Alabama when no-one is watching.

We have a few BBQ joints in Eau Claire now, mostly chain stores. Growing up though, we had very few. I have fond memories of fishing up north with my Dad (Hayward area) and heading to Famous Dave's for dinner. I think some of that nostalgia remains, I still like Dave's BBQ sauce.

You sir, have excellent taste. Good meat should not have to be covered with sugar and ketchup.

Well, few would argue that a good steak doesn't need steak sauce to make it palatable. OTOH, some of us like it for the change in taste. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I do not put any sauces on good steaks. Dry seasonings is the most that any good meat needs. Changes in taste are for side dishes and good wines.

Well, brisket isn’t typically a good cut of meat. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great meal if done correctly. Sauce typically helps, as I like spice to it. I’d very rarely want anything added to other meats unless a little chimichuri in Argentina. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

Butter, apple cider vinegar, molasses, hot pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer until reduced to desired thickness. For variations, add a little mustard, Worcester sauce, chopped onions, and/or tomato sauce. Old Kentucky recipe for barbequed mutton. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||
