I'm smoking a couple racks of ribs Sunday and I want a good sauce to go with it.
I'll be making the same run as I did last time, but I don't know if I want a bottled sauce with it.
I'm more of a thicker sauce fan, and not the thin, vinegar based fan for ribs. I like it a bit tangy/spicy, but not burning the mouth.
If you make yours, how so?
If you buy yours, what do you suggest?
Thanks!
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

I generally buy mine and this brand has never failed to bring a smile on my friends faces when I serve up "my secret special sauce" that I simmered for hours. I've been enjoying it for a dozen years or more. Available at food service supply/outlet stores in many sizes.Ask for Ken's Cannonball BBQ sauce as well as searching online.

Head Country BBQ Sauce made in Oklahoma is pretty darn good stuff too...!
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

"Countryside" is made here in Iowa, and I really like it.

Sweet Baby Rays is all over here. I also have liked me some Bone Suckin' Sauce.
GregW...willing to share the recipe...or at least a modified version of it?

Apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, plain mustard, spicy ketchup in ratios that appeal to you. I add in other spices as well including pepper flakes. Let it age in fridge a day prior to serving.
Super for brisket and pork.

I make my own. But, due to becoming a diabetic I don't eat it any more.
It starts off with 5lbs of brown sugar and 1 qt of molasses.
Sure taste's great. But too much sugar for me.

A simple one to get you by is coke, ketchup and sauteed diced onion, bring to a boil and then let cool. You can add other ingredients common to BBQ sauce but it's great on it's own, especially chicken on the wood fire grill.

Another vote for Sweet Baby Rays. OJ, bourbon, cayenne, or what ever floats your boat to doctor it up. I don't use it much for my personal cooks, but lots of people like it for the events that I cook for.
As always, your mileage may vary. Same goes for regions.

And another vote for Head Country sauce. Their rub is my standby when I take the easy way out (and probably just as good or better).

I dabbled with it, but with all the excellent commercial sauces and rubs available today it's not really worth the effort IMO. I typically mix a couple together, but not always. "Blues Hog", Rod Grays "BBQ, The Next Big Thing", Stubs "Kyle Style" and Baby Huey's "Sweet Fire" are a few of my favorites. If you enjoy making your own, then go for it!
