I don’t like pancake syrup on meat. I know that is weird and that my taste preference reflects a tiny minority of American consumers. Every commercial BBQ sauce that I have tried is sweet. Now and then I mix up a homemade batch of non-sweet BBQ sauce, and like it, but wish that I could simply buy a good savory sauce with NO sweetness. Anyone know of such a product?
I tried a fairly expensive Keto friendly sauce last week that had claimed to have very low sugar and carbs. The stuff was icky sweet.
Does a non-sweet store bought BBQ sauce exist?

Have you ever tried https://www.gourmetrdsauceco.com ? I don't fine it's as sweet as most of the others. Or "Stubbs" original?

Stubbs doesn't have much of a sweet taste. I like to mix a little apple cider vinegar in it to up the twang a bit as well.

In North Central Louisiana they like mustard based sauce. I think a lot of them make their own. In South Louisiana there is a sauce sold in every Store that isn't sweet. Jack Miller's. It is probably available online.

Been using this brand since the late 70's when Pops first taught me to grill and bbq. The original Cook-in Sauce ain't sweet. Sweet n Sour isn't available it's now Smoky n Sweet but it's nothing like the sickly sweet crap out there. Bold and Spicy no sweet and has a good kick. https://woodysbbqpantry.com/sauces/

This is good stuff as well for those that don't mind a little sweet and savory I call it black gold. Ain't nothing like you've seen or tasted before ever. Comes in Spicy as well

Thanks for the replies. I have a query into Jack Miller and wish I could taste it. Hope they have somewhere local I can buy a bottle rather than order it. Will check out some others suggested. I have tried Stubbs. As others have said, it is not as sweet as most. The words “not as sweet as…” is a deal breaker for me. I plan to track down a regional BBQ out of Ferndale, WA, called Brickhouse. Years ago I met the man who makes it, bought a jug and liked it pretty well but had totally lost track and have never seen it in a store since. He’s apparently still in business, online. This is a good quest!

It is probably available online. Jack Miller's (and neighbor sauce Pig Stand) isn't a sweet sauce in the sense of Sweet Baby Ray's or whatever, but it does have sweetness in its flavor profile. The OP seems to be looking for zero sweetness.

Or make some. This is a recipe Mickey Coleman had posted while trying to recreate Ollies bbq sauce.
Ollie’s was a well known Alabama joint. Great bbq. Sauce isn’t sweet, but does have a bit of sugar.
FOSCO'S FAMOUS ALABAMA STYLE SAUCE 3/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup white vinegar 1tbsp brown sugar 2tsp kosher salt 1/4tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes 1/4 to 1/2 cup ketchup 1tsp onion powder 1tsp garlic powder 1tsp ground mustard powder worcestershire
Put it all in a Mason jar and shake it up really well. Allow to set for 15 minutes before using.

Thanks for the heads up re jack Miller sweetness. Wish I could try the organic sauce mentioned just above, sweetened only with dates, without having to buy a four pack. The local Brickhouse sauce from Ferndale WA is out of production for now.
Mathman is correct that I'm looking for zero sweetness. A tiny bit of raw sugar is good sometimes on fresh salmon, not enough to taste the sweet but just barely takes the harsh edge off of the strongest spices. That's how I do salmon for grilling. By way of contrast, my neighbor coats salmon in 3/4 brown sugar and 1/4 salt.
This quest has perked my cravings and I'm ready to make up a batch of savory BBQ sauce. Thanks again!

As a general rule, anything "Texas Style" is going to be more savory than sweet.
