What do you like? They make this about 12 miles south of us in wall lake , Iowa.

Countryside Bar-B-Q Sauce - made up in Algona by relatives of a former student of mine. Excellent stuff! I like it better than Speed's (which isn't bad). Please give it a try.

John, we have a bottle of Buster's BBQ made in vermillion Bay in Wabigoon, made with blueberries. It's alright, nothing special.

I still have Blanket's recipe.

I just put the Countryside on the list John.

If I'm grilling chicken halves or stuffed pork chops I like Jack Miller's or Pig Stand.

when i lived in Macon we use to buy Mrs. Griffiths bbq sauce in local stores. can order it i think. good stuff for pork and chicken.

day by day it's sweet baby ray's in it's numerous incarnations.

Head Country Orginal.

https://www.headcountry.com

Head Country BBQ Sauce made in Ponca City, Oklahoma.

Head Country in my house as well. Also use their dry rub when smoking pork shoulders.

Stubbs is pretty good.

IMO Bullseye is the best, however.

Gave up on store bought. Just make our own with no sugar. Too much high fructose corn syrup in store bought.

I buy hunts cheap stuff and add things to it to complement what I am cooking.

bbq sauce has become like micro brews. so many out there its hard to pick one. so i just make my own sauce and beer. last i bought was some flavor of Sticky Fingers. not the KC style, its loaded with fake smoke schit like most. it was some other one.

Recipe?

I prefer this from Kinders. I used to buy from their meat market when I lived in NorCal.

Several good ones on the Google machine. We use homemade tomato sauce and then adapt from there. Applee coder vinegar, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, maybe liquid smoke.

Bullseye. Carolina flavor

Bullseye, KC Masterpiece or Sweet Baby Rays cut with Open Pit, I must admit that I prefer to go out for barbque and use what ever sauce they have.

Cattlemans.

Momma usually makes it, but if suffered to use store bought, pass the sweet baby Ray’s

Stubbs Smokey Bourbon

Amazingly a brand from my childhood survives and still being produced by original family.

Get you a bottle of Stubs original.

Drink 1/3 of it.

Replace consumed content with cider vinegar. Shake and serve at room temp.

if making serious Q i don't bother with store bought, but if dippin tater tots to chicken nuggets, no big deal

p.s. nice pitcher loonie

Head Country and Sweet Baby Rays a close second.

Baby Rays or Famous Daves

There are so many good commercial sauces and rubs now that sometimes it'd tough for me to pick just one or two. A few of my favorites are....

Slap's BBQ - ribs, pork

Blue's Hog - chicken, vanilla ice cream (not kidding)

Kosmo's OP X-1 - brisket

Clark Crew Original - brisket, ribs

Baby Huey's Sweet Fire - ribs, pork

There are many others, but these are the one's that stand out.

Homemade is best...

If not, Baby Ray's is best IMO...

Stubb’s original, all day and twice on Sunday
Famous Dave’s rub is damn good on chicken and pork though.
Uncle used to make some using open pit as a base but would never share the recipe. It was unreal.

I use the "Thrill or the Grill" recipe as a base and add other ingredients depending on what I am grilling. I will usually make a couple of quarts and with the vinegar it will keep a long time in the fridge. When I add meat juices it is made in smaller batches that will be used up in a week or so.

Saute the onions and then all of the other ingredients can be added. Don't add too much molasses the vinegar flavor gets absorbed by the other ingredients.

Glad to see the votes for Stubbs, I was raised on BBQ from there.

The other day, there was a Cookie's van in the lot of our local groc. When I went in, there was a lady in a Cookie's jacket restocking the shelves. I mentioned that she sure didn't look like Speed. She thanked me very emphatically.

I bought both a 67 Mustang, and a 3/4 ton pickup from Speed when he was selling Fords in Sac City.

Yep!

I like Stubbs Spicy.

And also....French's.

Sweet Baby Ray's, Stubb's and Sticky Fingers.
