Stubbs is not bad for a bottled sauce. Don't know if those stores carry
it.

Diana Sauce: there are various kinds and all are quite good, one of the
few brands I will keep on hand
Kraft: most are good in a pinch
ED Smith: makes a nice honey garlic sauce
Generic/Store Label: some are good but you will have to experiment,
most are quite cheap so if you don't like it you won't be out much

OR: make your own so you can adjust to your tastes

I don't know what part of the country you're in, but this stuff is
nice: http://www.maull.com
especially with a tiny bit of PureCap added!

For store bought, I like Stubb's or Sweet Baby Ray's. But the
following is one of the best:

Chef Juke's Raspberry-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

NOTE: This is a slight variation on the classic Kansas City Barbecue
sauce from the KC Barbecue Association, for those who like their BBQ
Hot & Smoky!

6 Tbls. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbls dark rum
2 Tbls yellow mustard
1 Tbls pure chili powder
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 cup Chipotles en Adobo
2 cups ketchup
2 cups Raspberry Preserves (I use Wall's Raspberry preserves from
Costco)
Kosher or sea salt
Pepper

In large saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire,
rum, mustard, chili powder, pepper, garlic powder,
allspice and cloves. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook,
uncovered, until all ingredients are dissolved, stirring constantly,
about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup and bring to boil, stirring
constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat slightly, add raspberry jam and 1/4 cup chipotles** and
gently simmer sauce, uncovered, until dark & thick, about 30 minutes,
stirring often. Use right away or transfer to jars, cover, cool to
room temperature and refrigerate. Sauce will keep several months.
Makes 5 cups or 20 servings.

**Add the chipotle peppers to taste. Since simmering will bring out
the heat in the peppers start by adding ¼ cup of chipotles and cook
for the 30 minutes THEN taste again and add additional peppers if you
like it REALLY HOT.

Stubbs is a good one, I like the spicy. Also, if you can find it, the Jim
Beam BBQ sauce is nice. If you are in the mood to cook your own, here is a
very easy recipe that makes the best tomato based BBQ sauce you have ever
had:

I use a cheap BBQ sauce for a base like Kraft original or something.
Warm up the sauce on the stove and then add:
A teaspoon of yellow mustard
some Worsteshire sauce (I just shake the bottle a couple of times)
4 or 5 big cloves freshly crushed garlic
A quarter cup freshly minced onion
Dash of Cajun Seasoning or seasoned salt (I don't use much salt so I am
light with this stuff, but once again, season to taste)
Black Pepper (I like lots of it)
Tabasco sauce to taste (I use fair amount because I like it hot)
Hand squeeze one half of one small orange (if you over do the O.J. it gets
to be too tangy)
Half teaspoon dill pickle juice
Make up 2 cups or so and after you have it tasting great, add 1/2
of a cup of Bourbon and a 1/2 of a cup of peach preserves

The Bourbon and peach preserves make this stuff amazing. I have friends that
say it is hands down one of the best BBQ sauces they have ever eaten and we
eat a lot of BBQ in Texas.

Cheers!

Get the one with "Liquid Smoke" or "natural smoke flavoring" etc.
closest to the beginning of the ingredients list. If you're gunna
sauce it, you might as well go all out.

Raw Meat Should NOT Have An Ingredients List

And make sure you boil your meat in the sauce for a few hours so
it has that authentic BBQ flavor, like Bob does.

Seriously though, there are perfectly legitimate uses for a decent
BBQ sauce. Some of us, however, frown on using BBQ sauce on
actual BBQ.

I like BBQ sauce better than ketchup for dipping pommes frites so it
has its uses but, being a true Texan, I prefer mustard instead of
ketchup on my hamburgers and my BBQ sauce on the side with brisket or
ribs so any direct contact with the meat can be easily avoided.

You may have achieved a new level of nastiness hitherto unknown in

Just kidding. That'd be damned near impossible.

Cattlemans is good, and usually can be bought in large bulk containers
at places like Wally World, or Sams Club. Sweet Baby Rays, KC
Masterpiece, and Bullseye ain't bad either.

Open Pit original I never really cared for, has no character.

Stubbs is good, a bit different than the rest, so give it a try, but one
time I overdid it a bit using the Stubbs Mopping Sauce too on Baby Back
Ribs, and they came out way too "vinegary".

On occasion, I might add a couple Tablespoons of Honey to my sauce when
basting the Ribs-Chicken at the end. Mark

Real Texans use Salsa... ;-)

And sliced jalapenos!

Tony Roma's BBQ sauce for beef and pork.. very tasty.. It's too
flavorful (for me) for chicken.. For that I pick one of the Kraft
brand sauces.. and I prefer to put it on the chicken earlier than "you
should" so it will almost burn.. or put it under the broiler for a
short time to finish up.. Sorta like Sheldon's meat loaf.. makes it
better,, regardless of what the pro's will tell you about "what you
SHOULD like.. "
I think it comes from good times of the past and sorta burnt bbq
sauce.. I'm the same way with gin and tonics..I like them ,, but more
for memories than the way they taste..

I just use Hunt's BBQ Hickory and Brown Sugar sauce. Makes shredded beef
sandwiches taste great, imho.
