BBQ sauce

I have this spring discovered the glory that is mustard-based Carolina gold barbecue sauce.

What sauces, brands, home recipes do people here enjoy/recommend?

 

SI cover girls seem to prefer Hawaii.

 

Simple guy that I am, I like the Trader Joe's brand.

 

Jack Daniels has a decent array

 

Joe's. Their original sauce is great, but the Cowtown variety is the best in the world.




Arthur Bryant's Hot N Spicy. Another instance where the original is really, really good. But if you want something a little different from the traditional KC sauce with a little more kick, this is it.


Everything about Roy's BBQ in Hutchinson, KS., is amazing, including the sauces. But they don't sell anything online.

 

Hell, man. I think Kraft puts out great ones.

 

I don't "measure things". So, can't really share recipes.
But the basic components of my BBQ sauce are:

• Ketchup
• Mustard
• Apple cider vinegar
• Lemon juice
• Brown sugar
• Salt
• Pepper
• Chopped garlic
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Ground ginger (secret to my success)

Basically combine stuff, and then adjust until it smells/looks/tastes right.
Adding bourbon or dr pepper to it works well, too.

 

BBQ sauce is made in hell and exported to Earth.

 

Best one I've had recently was a Bourbon-based sauce from Wegmans.
