I do my own sauce for pulled pork, but haven't for anything else.

What is/are your go-to bbq sauce recipes?

Big fan of Meathead's Lexington Dip recipe-wasn't into vinegar-based sauces for years but this converted me. Only thing I use on pulled pork now. Good way to cut down on sugar too. Easy to make and keeps forever...

I make Meat’s KC sauce, and mix in any partial bottles of store bought sauce i happen to have in the fridge. Always great, always different.

My homemade recipe is purdy tastee: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...riginal-shawsh
And I love Meathead's Columbia Gold: https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...q-sauce-recipe
And I really love mixing the two 50/50 and adding just a dash of lime juice and using that as a chicken sauce/dip. Outstanding.

Ooooooohhhh, Great Idea, mixin those! Gonna try that, thanks, Brother!

Most often, I make me a base like this here, kinda KC meets Tennessee...

Yall can let it low low (means jus barely) simmer, fer a spell, (10-15~ mins), if ya wanna reduce some of th vinegar nose; it'll still come through jus fine, taste wise...

If it tries to thick up on ya, yer runnin too warm, but ya can fix it with a shot of yer favourite beer, or bourbon, slowly whisked in, to original, or yer desired viscosity....

Drink any alcohol remnants; Cook's Privilege...

As many others do, I'll also mix up Blues Hog regular,, or their Smokey Mountain with their Tennessee red, 50/50, or proportioned as ya like... mix up some teensy batches, like a shot each, adjust to suit yer tastes, then make ya more...

[Mr. Bones]

I use these Mini Measures a lot, cookin, mixin sauces/rubs/other mixtures, very convenient!

They're also Great fer blind Bourbon, or other liquour tastins; th different colours make it easy to remember whose glass is whose...

I like this North Carolina style with pork - https://datenightdoins.com/north-car...gar-bbq-sauce/

I like this one with beef (great for chuck roast burnt ends) and chicken, though I omit the liquid smoke and add some combination of smoked paprika, ancho powder, chipotle powder, or whatever else I have on hand to add some smokiness to it - https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/44...bar-b-q-sauce/

Most of the time, I go with commercial sauces ... until chicken is on the menu. Then I make Alabama White Sauce using a tweaked version of Meathead's recipe ... tweaked to taste more like the way I remember it while growing up in Northern Alabama.
