favorite store bought rubs and sauces.

My wife and I like to put Trader Joe's Carolina Gold sauce on our pulled pork sliders. Pulled pork on ciabatta mini-rolls and just pour on a little sauce. Ny wife loves this on chicken too.

By the way - this is stocked as "seasonal" at TJ's, so may not find at all times. If you find it and like it, you may want to stock up.

KC Masterpiece has been my favorite for years. I thin it down about 20% with ginger ale or orange soda
for my pulled pork. Delicious.

[texastweeter]

orange soda sounds interesting

[Spinaker]

Head Country,
More bold and savory.
Oak Ridge BBQ,
Very fresh spices, complex rubs
Meat Church
Meat candy rubs. Honey Hog and Deez Nuts is awesome on ribs!

Bullseye or Sweet Baby Ray’s do pretty well for store-bought sauce (although I’d like to give some of the Black Swan products a try). About the only commercial rub I use is the PBC AP rub. You have to be careful with it because it’s very salty ... but it’s very good.

I like Dizzy Pig, but the are too expensive for me.

Wife likes Sweet Baby Ray's, original flavor.
I get good results with Famous Dave's Rib Rub, but I haven't used it for a few years.

I enjoy sweet baby rays original and lately I have been tang-ing it up with a little vinegar mixed in

I tried a couple of commercial rubs years ago and they were all way to salty for me. I'm sure there are really good ones now, but I always make my own rubs.

Love Sweet Baby Ray's original by itself (but it's also good to add soda, jelly, hot sauce, vinegar, etc., to change it up)

Stubbs bottled sauces are excellent too if you can get them in your location. Stubbs spicy is better than anything I've had in the spicy realm and better than anything I've been able to make or doctor up. BTW: Stubbs is a good spot in Austin for BBQ, live music, etc. as an alternative or different day trip on a Pilgrimage to Franklins

I have been enjoying the Peach Chipotle sauce from Wright BBQ laltely: https://squareup.com/market/wright-bbq-company/ . Nice bit of heat, some fruity sweetness from the peach, and a more complex flavor than most sauces.

Their rub is very solid as well.

Diana Original for bottled KC style sauce.

Head country rub and original sauce are both excellent. I have also liked Everglades original seasoning.

[Obi-Dan]

A friend who lives in South Florida just sent me a sampler pack from Everglades. That original seasoning is great on everything. I put it in breading, on eggs, you name it.

My favorite storebought rubs are Heaven Made Products. Very high umami in them. My fam & I use their Amazing Cajun and Mexi-Cajun on nearly everything meat. Either of those are simply aoutstanding on grilled/smoked chicken thighs. Their brisket rub isn't peppery enough for me but add a little Big Bad Beef Rub and to me it's perfection.

My favorite storebought sauces are Blues Hog Honey Mustard on beef, Red, or Red & Original mixed on pork. Also like Rufus Teague 'Touch o' Heat', it's dark & molasses-y. And for smokey store-bought, Sweet Baby Ray's regular or sweet & spicy.
