    I like Bullseye Original.

      Swamp Boys is my current Fav. First of all, it looks fantastic, very smooth and a brilliant burgundy/mahogany. It's sweet with some heat. My next fav is Granny's. Lots of sweet. For tangy, I'm diggin BigBibGibson's red sauce.

      I have over a dozen in the cooler now, with some more unopened waiting for the tasting.

      I don't do sauce save for pulled pork, and sometimes when we reheat. I think it really helps when we reheat brisket and do a brisket chop.

        Trader Joe's Bold and Smoky Kansas City Style or Trader Joe's Carolina Gold are good retail sauces. We like Bone Suckin' Sauce Original too. It is a pretty good sauce that is on the thinner side. Good on chicken.

          WOW

          A lot of brands I've never heard of!

          My tastes have really been changin. For years, I've been a Bullseye Original guy, sometimes cutting it with apple cider vinegar and adding some crushed red pepper. Recently, I've been enjoying Jack Daniels #7. Also, I rarely use sauce with my ribs, just pulled pork. Just enjoy the flavor of the nekkid ribs too much!

          Bit now I have MANY more I need to try. Not a fan of Stubbs nor Yuengling.

            Anything that doesn't have "Corn Syrup" as a first or second ingredient. I do buy those but only for glazing and they work well for that.

            Thanks for the posts. I suspect that there are regional sauces that are killer and not available everywhere so those posts are useful. We have a local sauce that's in meat markets only, first ingredients: Brown Sugar, Tomato paste.. Took fourth out of 421 entries at American Royal.

            Since I'm not a sauce fan I like to look for sauces that have done well in contests to try when I decide to get saucy.

              The whole line of Diana Sauces are great as far as bottled sauces go. http://www.dianasauce.ca/mobile/products.asp

              This is a Canadian company so I'm not sure you can get it in the States, but if you see some, it's definitely worth the $4.

                When I'm too lazy ( which is frequent ) to make my own, I've used Dave's Original. Got 2 bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's to try next.

                  Just tasted Head Country tonight.....ugh! Horrible!

                  It tastes like cocktail sauce imho. I cannot stand anything with a horseradish taste, even the smell will invoke my gag reflex.

                  I'm hoping to try Blue's Hog and Swamp Boys next. PaulstheRibList posted pics of his pulled pork and it looks very tasty.

                  My favorite commercial sauce is probably the original Cattlemans. Not the grocery store bottles, but the food service variety. The store bought flavors are pretty generic imo.

                    Ditto on the Cattleman's original. Very few grocery stores stock it anymore. So now I make my own sauce or occasionally I'll buy Rufus Teague's sauce. They have 3 different blends but I like the "little bit of heat" blend the best.

                    Breadhead I'm going to order a bottle of Rufus Teague. I'll make sure to get the Lil bit of heat version.

                  I like Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet, if I use a sauce that I didn't make myself.

                      We ate at one of their restaurants in Charleston a couple of years ago. My middle son still talks about it, we liked it so much we went back the next night - something we NEVER do when vacationing.
                      We are going back this summer to take a cruise and Daniel is already looking forward to going back.

                    Locally in the metro Atlanta area, there's Williamson Brothers BBQ, and they have 3 locations. They distribute their sauces locally here in Georgia at Kroger and Publix stores, but I don't know if they go distribute outside the state.

                    Their original sauce is the standard red sauce, but with the big black pepper flakes seen in the jar. Sweet, but not very with the pepper to keep it down.

                    They also have the Carolina mustard sauce. Very tangy, good mustard, and great on chicken for me.

                    They also have variations of the two with the hotter blends, or mixed with honey, but I've not tried them. Sticking with the basic they offer.

                    Sorry SteveFromLafayette isn't a fan of Head Country Sauce as I kind of like it myself. However, their rubs are a bit too salty for me.

                      But if we're talking really commercial where the sauce is more widespread, then I'd pick Sticky Fingers Tennessee Whiskey.

                        I don't usually like sauce on my bbq unless it's pulled pork .. then I use it sparingly. The kids like Sweet Baby Ray's or CattleBoyZ original

                          The two I keep for "just in case"

                          Johnny Harris
                          Rib Rack

                          But I really need to get some Black Swan.

                            Great on the grill or in the kitchen: you can cook with it because it’s real sauce made from fresh pureed vegetables!
